I understand that the FSF is really, really hung up on every detail of

The details of the GPL are necessary to prevent bad-faith actors
from taking GPLed code and distributing it to users while preventing
those users from exercising the four freedoms. It is important to
the FSF that such bad-faith actors be stopped. There are other people,
of which you may be one, who are less concerned with bad-faith actors
and simply want to have a community of free or open source, even if
parts of that code wind up in non-free programs. Other licenses such
as BSD or Apache might be more appropriate for them.
