You are putting words in their mouth. There is no reason why such an RSS app wouldn’t link to the original source instead of scraping it.

The app doesn’t need to be a central source of monetization for the creators either, that’s usually the source of all these problems. The app can monetize their aggregation and curation services as they wish, and the individual creators sites can monetize their contribution as they wish. Be it ads, subscriptions, donations or anything else, as usual.
