I may be missing what your concerns are so please correct me but so what if someone want's to make a prop copy if they were the one who made the design. There have been resin kits of Aliens guns for decades but it wouldn't replace a movie used prop. The difference here is the quality is as good as the actual screen item. There have been licensed Indiana Jones fedoras for decades (and frankly the ones from the 80's were more accurate than the current ones) but none of them could replace a screen worn hat with provenance for those who want such items. I am a reenactor and even the most exact repro is not as desireable as a vintage item for a collector but the repro allows for the preservation of real artifacts while placating the masses who want to have one for fun.
recently I was watching reruns of Hollywood treasures and the guy who did all the leatherwork for the Naboo costumes, the 5th element, and even indy's coat was letting them auction off his stuff that was all film worn. The film production team got nothing from this sale.
