If your last sentence were true, you’d prefer a world where hyperscalers do not fork and close source a FOSS project but the FOSS project continues on to thrive
With copyleft being effectively banned in most companies, it means that there is no viable FOSS business model.
Reality is that for now, many FOSS contributors do it for free in their spare time. Comically critical pieces of infrastructure rely on such goodwill development.
But as cozy salaries decline and job security does, less people will have time to work for free.
We will have less Foss, less innovation, less new viable projects compared to if there were no hyperscalers.

How does this advancing the public good?
