It’s pretty simple: if Antropic wins, that’s the end of the US copyright law, replaced by the diktat of the tech bros (worse for artists, and for anyone else but the tech oligarchs). If Antropic loses, nothing changes and we get to fight the (comparatively tiny) copyright mafia for another day.
In which way do you expect this to strengthen copyright laws? Also, from the article, it reads like Anthropic implicitly admits to copyright infringement, and that their defence essentially boils down to “if you prosecute us, we will go bankrupt”. I don’t see how that flies, but then again, IANAL :-)

if i understand us law procedures correctly it could actually strengthen copyright law by becoming a precedent
