The lawsuit seeks to force the Internet Archive to delete all the copies of scanned books, including the copies of books they physically own. This is in addition to preventing them from lending out scanned copies. How is that not book burning?
I do not personally have the problem, but I believe the accommodations necessary for many people with low vision to read a book are easier with an electronic copy of the book; i.e. zooming in on a PDF rather than using a book magnification station---effectively a book scanner without memory. And yes, this has been one of the goals of IA's book scanning program for quite a while.
