> The BSD licence is objectively worse than the BSD+Patent Grant.

I'm not a lawyer, but I have heard a few claim the opposite: BSD plus the explicit restricted patent grant was worse than BSD (or MIT) with no explicit patent grant (because many believe it carries an implicit unrestricted patent grant).

It does not look like this was ever tested by actual court case so I guess it is hard to argue either way.
