I can’t imagine handing over discrete files for use in distributing the TV show could be an issue. And I’m not worried about it. It is simply not within the scope of that EULA to imagine that use as one that contradicts the spirit of the agreement. They don’t want you to monetize their work, beyond using it in a synchronized work. I’m not doing that by handing over the mix session. I’m just allowing others to use my work in the most flexible way possible in the future if needed.

I usually read the EULAs of new software, actually, and my opinion is it's obvious you have not, or heard much about all the intellectual property situations over the years in various courts in various countries. If you think each situation people are describing here as possible copyright infringement is obvious to dismiss, you're not understanding that judges decide these things, not your feelings.
1) Sample A is owned by The Sample Company Inc.
2) EULA says "only synchronized version is good, no raw sample."
3) Your mix session contains raw Sample A for Movie B by The Movie Movers Productions.
4) Giving your mix session to The Movie Movers Production 100% violates the EULA.
5) Many sampling library EULAs indeed talk about stems. It's obviously come up before, but the above stands.
Your perspective is random arm waving and gesturing in a world run by contract law.
Haha, the following is shared with only the remark that the important thing to what I am saying is that these cases went to a court almost or at all:
