I don't know why it's so disgusting.
Firstly the GPL being a copyright license should be rightly focused on code. It should stay the hell away from mandating how companies support there products, as long as the four freedoms are maintained
Secondly, the GPL allows commercial exploitation. The ONLY way this is even possible is with decent support agreements.
Finally None of the four freedoms are being violated. I see nothing disgusting at all
