In just a month, we've gone from "publishers won't promise not to train a model on your work" to "publishers are letting an AI company train a model on your work, but will pay you a nonnegotiable pittance for your work."

The right to decide who can train a model on your work does you no good unless it comes with the *power* to exercise that right.
