• It's probably the only classic Zeppelin cut that isn't flatly stolen from more-talented songwriters.
• It extended rock's White Album/Hendrix excursion into seriously atonal and electronically-distorted music, artful realms that jazz was too pompous to explore.
On the downside:
• It pretty much sucked.
• In their premiere live recording (with film) in the most exciting city in the world near the moment of their creative apex, Jimmy Page took the most profound, famous cliche-for-good-reason riff in his singular career —a beepbeep passage composed for a bitch-slap of poignance— And he fucked it up.
> What 'trigger warnings' might classic books need
Somebody please do one about boredom and Zen Motorcycle... Include some stuff a about feeling your first good titty from a pretty girl who wears a fruity, cheap perfume that could stun the mosquitoes of an entire valley riverbank.
I'm not sure about the copyright thing... it's not like Page was the only one. Page and Clapton learned their trade together with The Yardbirds, but you never hear anyone giving Clapton the crap that Page gets.

Zep had a problem. It's my understanding that they made it a point to sell their copyrights (with caveats affixed) before leaving middle age... The knew they didn't want to spend their lives in court.
Perhaps Clapton wasn't as deft, or as inclined, to abject theft. But in the earliest years following the (1970) release, Clapton was happy to credit the soon-deceased Allman with the best passages of slide guitar over the instrumental half. Later, having kicked heroin and a few other addictions, he tried to take credit for them again.
Nope, not interested... Still too strenuous.
Thanks anyway.

Note Page's defensiveness about copyright in the last paragraphs. There's a reason for that.
