People want a Busybox replacement in order to make it easier to infringe the kernel's license.
That's your supposition, not a fact. Even if it is the case that people are replacing Busybox to avoid copyright holders who vigorously go after GPL violations, the solution isn't to decry the replacement of Busybox. The solution is to lobby other copyright holders to defend their copyrights more vigorously or to assign them to the Software Freedom Conservancy.
