I disagree for the most part. Corporations avoid copyleft licenses like the plague. It's the term open-source that includes 'free beer' licensed software that created this confusion.
Legal absolutism and intransigency, and maybe some ideological retribution. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I paid my dues in MAANG. Business culturally, control seemed all-important. They seemed to want source they could use without giving a dime to maintainers, if they so chose. Some support was given, but not enough and not uniformly.
