You're splitting hairs not worth splitting.
AA is clearly talking about their hosting, and their hosting costs. Not about owning the data. "Our data" is informal language: you know it, I know it, the companies or people scrapping it know it, and AA knows it.
Why pretend otherwise or build strawmen? This is about hosting costs, not about copyright or IP. AA never claimed what they do isn't illegal.
In law and courts a lot of hair splitting is done, and this is not a particularly obscure hair that we are splitting.
