And that won't happen because no publisher's lawyer is ever going to agree to have a license say that "fair use" takes precedence over the terms of the license, given that "fair use" judgments are so dependent on very specific fact situations and thus is inherently vague as a guide to behavior.

The single most useful thing we could do is insist that license
language include a provision that the license terms do not supersede
provisions of the US copyright act.
