If this is under the MIT license, doesn't every project that uses it for initial scaffolding have to keep its license around?

You can basically do anything at all with it, including include it in a more restrictive licensing setup. The only constraint is that you must include the original license/copyright notices.

Right, that's exactly what I mean.

The MIT license is not copy-left. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft
No, but it stipulates that the copyright notice and license text must be retained.
