Unjustly, but legally. The people you should be salty at are the lawmakers.

Why can't I be salty at both? People have responsibility for their actions even if those actions are legal.
That still remains to be seen. A DMCA is not a court order. Anyone can file one and take a repository offline for two weeks.
Yes but the code was clearly derived directly from a decompiled binary; not ‘clean room’ reverse engineering. Hence, illegal, regardless of whether a dmca takedown notice is filed.
Deriving something from a decompiled binary isn't illegal in itself.

That doesn't make it illegal, there are plenty of jurisdictions where non-clean-room reverse engineering is perfectly legal.
