This is actually why we don't know anything from that case. District court rulings aren't binding on other courts and the appellate court apparently threw out the case without ruling on the CFAA, so there was no precedent created either way.
But if the appellate court had ruled the same way as the district court and created that precedent, I don't think you could reasonably describe that as an improvement in the CFAA situation.
