I think you're wrong, but I think you've explained why the GPL works.

The best licence is one that developers don't have to think about when they're developing, but which they also don't have to worry about when they want to enforce it.

The GPL has made development and enforcement so safe and problem-free that if someone didn't think about it, they could easily think it wasn't there or that it was just fluff.
