But when LLM is used to create an image or video, the user usually consider the LLM as a copyright laundering device and claim full copyright on the produced image or video, regardless of what the licenses of the training set would be. Why coders don't get the privilege of that?

No, you cannot launder copyright through an LLM. It's the same for both images, video, and code; and that question is independent of whether or not it's legal to train the LLM on copyrighted data. The LLM training gets to be fair use, but fair use is not transitive. Infringement reaches through the LLM to get at any outputs which are substantially similar to the original no matter how many fair uses you put in the middle.
