I'm slightly confused by the article. It refers to THJ vs Sheridan (2023) but that ruling was about software-generated graphs and said nothing about reproducing out-of-copyright content?
It doesn't need to. It clarifies the conditions under which a copyright is created; the subject matter is immaterial.
See paragraphs 14-16 ("The Law"), in particular:
"What is required [for copyright to exist] is that the author was able to express their creative abilities in the production of the work by making free and creative choices so as to stamp the work created with their personal touch [...] This criterion is not satisfied where the content of the work is dictated by technical considerations, rules or other constraints which leave no room for creative freedom"
