It's almost certain that you're wrong. It's like saying I can't copyright a song if my modular synthesizer generated it. Why would you think this?

Yes it does. https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-cli?tab=readme-ov-fi... I'm pretty sure OP wrote their own version of playwright because they didn't know this existed.
