As if being popular by itself is actually a good thing. Popular with corporate shitheads that want free stuff and not contribute anything sure. Is it good for Open Source, absolutey not.

The authors have agency to use whatever license they want. They chose MIT.

Just because they chose it doesn’t make it a good choice.

We do not know what the authors' goal is.

At best, we can make the guess: They chose the license that best fits their interests.
