I agree too, and I think this is the key point:

License choice is really a question of economics - which choice is expected to produce the greatest value. Of course everyone has different metrics for assessing value, and different expectations for the results of a particular choice, so we can expect people to make very different choices as to what they think will produce the most value.

But it really is a question of value, of worth, of economics. Trying to dress it up as a question of morality or ethics or fairness is just deceiving oneself (or possibly attempting to deceive others).
