I assume that because archive.org is a massive open public fucking website, not a closeted circle like what.cd, requiring invitations to even log in apparently.
I'll also assume that it's as easy to upload copyrighted material than it is to remove them for the rights owner.
You're totally right about the license of publicly available content. I handwaved over it, assuming that people still wouldn't mind backup by a tier as long as it doesn't damage them (and again I'll assume archive.org accepts removal when demanded... which I'm gonna check right now).
