It's not like those copies self destructed after the pandemic.
But it is. The ebook contains drm and can only be opened with adobe software. It can't be opened anymore once the lending time expired. The internet archive simply allowed more people to borrow them, but not letting them borrow the books indefinitely so the lent books will still expire (though the can still re-borrow again by logging in to the internet archive library).
