Let's not paint this issue in black and white, LGPL for example also means properietary software could take parts of Blender code and use it. If Blender would have many properietary plugins and modifications, it does result in a different development dynamic. I personally don't have a strong opinion on this, but I don't think it's an obvious choice.
