GPL has been successfully enforced in various occasions, and it can be enforced effectively especially when large companies need to protect their R&D investments from freeloading competitors.

A new, stronger "AGPL3++" can be written and enforced. Many companies have been experimenting with new licenses to find more sustainable options than the status quo.

It seems necessary when a comment is throwing around hard claims like MIT is bad for FOSS without any supporting evidence/argument, with a side dish of maximum pathos of "think of the poor users".

That sounds interesting, I haven't heard about instances like these. Can you name a few examples?
