>GPLv3 puts restrictions on what a USER can do with the software No it doesn't. You can do whatever you want with GPLv3 software, provided you don't distribute it. It's disingenuous to use the word "developer" to equate "person who edits their own software" with "person who distributes software to others". Or if you disagree, can you articulate exactly what USER freedom you think is being infringed? "Your freedom to swing your fist ends at my face."
