Of course not. The plagiarism comparisons were overblown and no one can copyright the basic idea anyways.
They are also just a fad and generally a boring game with a lot of faults. They aren't a threat.
Why did you so casually dismiss it? Just because you don't like a game doesn't mean it's boring with a lot of faults. The game was at 20k players average on steam last month, putting it above valheim, bdo, rimworld, risk of rain 2. That doesn't really speak to me as a boring game.
Just because it has a lot of players doesn't mean it's good. I mean, recently, one of the top 5 games on Steam just a few days ago was a literal scam. (The Banana game)
I mean i enjoyed palworld quite a lot. Id consider it a good game. Generally player counts come from either enjoyable gameplay or brain manipulation tactics like dailies/FOMO - palworld doesnt really have the latter from what I see. It checks lots of boxes for enjoyable gameplay - rpg elements, open world with exploration. meaningful collection, creativity options via base building, and some level of tactics/strategy in teambuilding and combat.
