That's like saying the reason why GNU/Linux was completely lost and every single x86 servers and smartphones for last few decades ran on FreeBSD is because of the MIT license it uses. That would be a complete parallel world imagination.

IMO it's normal and expected that companies hate GPL(v2 or v3 or AGPL). It's not okay but also okay to steal GPL code too, it's just an introductory price phase for inescapable lock-in which even Google hasn't been able to get away from.
