preparation for systemd compatibility
To be clear, they're not switching to systemd; they're just reportedly (I can't find primary sources on this, only secondary) working on compatibility with programs that expect systemd to be there.

So what are you suggesting is in question then? The licences sold for games will differ from game to game; if one of then were legally unsound, that wouldn't automatically make all of them legally unsound, and obviously that's local to the legal system in which that finding was made. That selling licences to play games is categorically unlawful? I think that's not a particularly plausible outcome, and is unlikely to propagate beyond the given jurisdiction the finding happens in if such a ruling were to happen.
the court system
There's no "the court system". There are court systems. You've only linked to US case law, which, for instance, doesn't apply to me. This does just seem to be a legal fetish (in the anthropological sense, not the sexual sense). A court ruling something or other doesn't even have worldwide legal implications, let alone worldwide epistemological implications.
As for what counts as piracy (a separate matter to the rabbit hole we've gone down), something being a legal term does not mean that the definition of the word matches 1:1 with its legal description. I'm sure we can both think of examples of murder which is not criminalised as murder by a given government, for example. Words are defined by their use, and people use piracy to refer to a method of obtainment.
That's an insane litmus test of objective fact. I'd say a significant amount of court rulings go blatantly against reality lmfao.
You can't test things in court that aren't disputed because someone has to dispute it... Who's gonna dispute that a contract is a contract? Read the text it says when you buy a game. It says what it says. No court can say a document doesn't say the words it literally explicitly says.
I don't think it's Linux-specific. There's a lot of dickheads in society. If you create a community around a particular topic or hobby, then most likely you'll get people there feeling arrogant/superior about their skills in that hobby/topic/etc and wanting to gatekeep it. It happens for a lot of things.
That's definitely a you thing of where you go on the internet. e.g. on Tumblr or ao3 the bias in the trans population is in the opposite direction.
That's not the case... There used to be more trans women visiting gender clinics than trans men, which we got old stats from, but nowadays all the stats you can see show it pretty much 50/50.
What I'm saying is not in dispute is the fact that you buy licences to play games and that licences can be revoked. Both of those are objective fact. It's a separate question as to whether or not a given state wants to enact punishment against a former licence holder.
Case law is specific to jurisdiction. I don't know where you live, and I've not said where I live. The way buying and selling most digital copies of games is through buying and selling licences, though some software you do pay for the download itself rather than paying for a licence. That doesn't require case law; that's literally just what it is, like how if I sign a contract I don't need case law to demonstrate that what I've signed is a contract, it just is. Case law adjudicates matters of law which are in dispute, not figuring out whether a spade is a spade.
In the first example, it is not fair use, because you don't buy digital copies of games—you buy a licence to play the game. My Minecraft licence would have been revoked when I didn't create a Microsoft account. Game companies can impose whatever conditions on a game licence they like (so long as the condition is not otherwise illegal).

They're using the acronym because it's targeting a political identity. They'd be targeting asexuals who go to pride parades or do advocacy or whatever. They're not going to chuck you in prison for not meeting your sex quota.
(assuming you rent) you can use command strips to stick organisers to your walls and use vertical space. You can use some of those stationery organisers and stick it to the wall. In general see if you can use more vertical space.
