I understand just fine. Placing any obligations on distribution, either mandating or prohibiting, is a de facto restriction on use in many contexts. There is a lot of source code that you might want to remix with GPL code that the user has no control over the legality of its distribution. That situation comes up often enough, sometimes in unplanned or unexpected ways, to strongly incentivize the blanket bans on GPL source code you commonly see.

No one has to like it but that is the reality. Pretending these aren’t real and valid concerns, often by people who have no power to change these things even if they want to, does a disservice to the health of the open source ecosystem.

It is why I stopped releasing GPL code and went purely permissive. I’ve seen the issues it causes people who just want to use the code many times. (Ironically, even for me with my own GPL code but at least I can relicense.)
