Ah, 90s network security. Happier times.
I went and checked myself, and they have evolved a lot more than I remembered. For the better, I think, but you're certainly right that they could be going about this in a more legally adept way.
The exemption mentioned in that article isn't about hosting video games online- you may have confused two exemptions. That one was for accessibility in the sense of access for people with disabilities (alternate input devices, etc). It was only added in the 2021 review, and the Internet Archive wasn't one of its backers.
The exemption for remote access to video games was a separate and new proposal, and the Copyright Office blocked it after pressure from industry lobbyists.
