I think there is a breakdown between how lawyers (and, perhaps courts - but none of this is really tried in court so that remains to be seen) interpret what software engineers mean when they say things because there is a lot of nuance to capture. One can imagine the client going to their lawyers and spending a hefty amount of money for them to produce the SSPL license in a good spirit, but coming out with something like this which is ambiguous and weighted in favor of the SSPL provider (Elasticsearch, etc.) because when there is ambiguity lawyers tend to prefer ambiguity in favor of their client, not the other party.
