That's a common interpretation but I don't think it's supported by the manga.

Garou hasn't fought Darkshine or Zombieman in the manga yet; so there is no telling what he can and can't copy from them.

Genos' energy blasts requires cybernetic enhancements which Garou lacks.

For Metal Bat's Fighting Spirit, there are no known special requirements like cybernetic enhancements that would prevent Garou from copying it. And observing it and inventing his own identical ability is effectively the same as copying it.

Let's look at Garou's other major opponents so far in the manga:

Bang: Garou has already copied his fighting style.

Bomb: Garou has copied his fighting style after fighting him.

Watchdog Man: Garou has copied his movements after fighting him.

Metal Bat: Garou has fought him, and later displays an ability similar to Metal Bats and even names Metal Bats ability as he does so while thinking of him.

The only ones who determine what can and can't be learned is ONE and Murata. Neither of them have said he cannot do it, and the manga supports the interpretation that it can in fact be copied and that Garou did copy it.
