Personally, I think it's a shame. GPL generally puts me off as the licence is too complex for me to understand and I don't understand in what situations I can and cannot use it. MIT, BSD etc are simple enough that even without a legal brain I can get the gist of what I can and cannot do.

If I take the MIT license and add a single word, and it would make it incompatible with every other license out there.

I don't understand your point? You can change the GPL licence too if you were so inclined?
