None of that comes anywhere close to justifying your equivalence of Disney and free software developers. Rather you seem to be trying to walk that back by instead talking about other things.
The simple fact of the matter is the nature of the licenses in question are very different, and the nature of the licensers in question are very different. They share little other than a relation to copyright. The social impact of their use of copyright, which is the matter of contention, is worlds apart.

Whether it be GPL or the right for companies like ElasticCo and Mongo to forbid cloud providers from offering their software as a service. What’s the difference between Disney not allowing their content on Netflix or in theaters so they can exclusively use it on Disney+ and ElasticCo not allowing third party cloud providers to allow their software to be sold as a service so that they can exclusively offer managed services? Do you want the government to step in and tell you how you can distribute your work?
