What’s wrong with the OCL if you’re a business owner?

I don't want to ask Prusa for permission.
Permission to do what exactly?

Was there something before the OCL you could / were planning to do that the OCL now prohibits?

I don't know why it's so mysterious for you. It's not an open hardware platform and prusa is the gatekeeper here.
I think it's as misterios to GP as to anyone else, inclusing yourself given how difficult it seems to be to come up with an actual answer.
No. It's easy. I develop tools. Some of which are tools I may want to sell to other. if I am dependent on a platform to make money, I don't want to ask permission to do so.
You still didn't answer either of their questions:
