There are plenty of other services that strip affiliate links from content for users, such as ad blockers.
Notably, in both those cases, the user is specifically asking for what wirecutter thinks.
To me, that makes the infringing behavior clearly the fault of the user of the tool, not the tool itself.
When I saw this lawsuit announced, I assumed that large portions content were being reproduced in response to generic queries. That isn't the case, every example I've seen from this lawsuit has prompts where the user specifically asks for the content. To me, any fault and liability rests on the user here.
