It's just one example but I worked on a project that forked the last GPLv2 version of GRUB for pure tivoization reasons. No one at $BIGCORP ever seemed to care about any GPLvX patent difference, it's all about the tivoization difference, in fact there are mandatory trainings about the latter and not about the former.
macOS has been stuck to the last GPLv2 version of bash for years, now switching to zsh. Same for other software on macOS.
Same timing all across the industry, what a coincidence!
