While not directly analogous, people often think "it's just math" or "it's just numbers" and therefore claim their use is ok. I would encourage those people to read about illegal numbers: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_number
I think you could replace "weights" with other things that you probably would want restricted (eg private keys).
My point is exactly that: just because something is the result of some fixed mathematical process plus randomness does not mean there's no nuance and it's always ok to share/publish.

Those numbers are encodings of some specific information. Weights are just results of purely mathematical algorithm fed data in randomized order.

Can cryptographic keys be copyrightable if they were published?
In come country copyright strictly requires creative human input.
It can be illegal to distribute something even if it's not protected by copyright.
I don't know how courts will rule on this one, though
