This is a very similar question to piracy vs unauthorised AI training and I think the underlying thing is power and agency.
It’s absolutely possible, consistent and valid to be for something in a situation where it equalises power and against it in a situation where it skews it even worse towards inequality.
Building features instead of apps is always a precarious situation.
Also, ironically, wouldn’t software patents help here? (I’m not advocating for them. But…)
If software patents are uncool. And Sherlocking isn’t cool. Then… how does one even begin to adjudicate this?
