I suspect there's more to the story than the article discloses, but whatever the case I rather doubt that Congress passed the new law based solely on the experience of two wannabe filmmakers. We may have different opinions on the matter but ultimately I think the new regs will lead to problems in parks.
If by "reinterpreted" you mean changed, then I would agree with you. Certainly there's likely to be more filming in national parks than previously, which was the intent of the change in regulations. Paying hefty fees for permission to film was likely a deterrent for some videographers, in my opinion.
Laws mean nothing to a percentage of humans. Write whatever Lawrence you want and like I said a certain number of humans will break it. That percentage is based on a couple things and usually goes down when the punishment goes up. You are part of the law breaking percentage. I'll bet a donut that you have at least once in your life broken the speed limit Law on purpose. At least set your cruise 3mph above the limit on a long trip. Why? Because the chances of being penalized are almost non and if you were it would not cause you great discomfort. So write whatever laws you want but always know they will be broken.
