I'm sure they would have loved to save the hassle and expense of disassembling physical books. Presumably something legal related or cost related prevented them from going that route.

Yes, they did it as a workaround for copyright. TFA explains that aspect.

It's not a workaround for copyright. It's to obey copyright. As in: copyright law is the reason they destroyed the books.

Meta didn't have to do any of this. They just used The Pile.
