You misunderstand GPL.

GPL is not about openness to everybody. GPL is not about maximizing contributions.

GPL is all about end-users' freedom, even over developers' freedom where those two collide (i.e. developer can't have freedom to take freedom away from users).

GPL is about preventing software becoming non-free and deliberately not helping those which want to have ability to control what users can and cannot do, like add DRM, unremovable crapware, etc.

GPL is deliberately open only to those who prioritize end-users' (not developers'!) freedom over everything else.

There seems to be some implication that because I disagree with the GPL's aims and find them incompatible with my own, I must not understand it.

I understand the GPL. However, compared to the alternatives, I don't believe the GPL/FSF are optimally beneficial to my interests, the interests of consumers, or the interests of corporations.
