I'm not even going to point out the hundreds of counter examples to your argument.
You clearly didn't understand my point: I'm not arguing about whether GPL is better than MIT or BSD or even SSPL/etc.
My point is that if someone else chooses to release their software with less restrictions on it than I would choose, that's literally none of my business.
They wrote the fucking thing, they get to choose how it's fucking licensed.
Plenty of organisations (and thus people) skip using GPL licensed software due to inability or unwillingness to be bound by it's terms.
I'm still waiting for the day the GPL camp says they're not going to use things like OpenSSH, Apache, Nginx, Postgres, Python, Ruby - because they're too fucking permissive.
