But aren't the fabric chassis' in multi-chassis deployments for the CRS all optics-based?
Yes, but I believe the discussion was around optical backplanes within a device, not between devices.
Compass EOS is the only player I am aware of that does optical within a chassi.
It seems there were copper advancements in the meantime that made copper still scale well for backplane connectivity, and that's why existing vendors have kept using copper traces switch fabric connectivity instead of going optical.
