I think someone wanting to use this licence may take a view of "megacorps should pay for my work regardless of their sub-company internal wooden-dollars accounting, so they shouldn't get out of using my open source efforts to make their rich stakeholders richer, although I don't mind helping some small indie team kickstart their business (and if they end up growing big, they will pay me anyway!)."
Also the need for these style of licenses is shown by what happens when, for instance, AWS decides to just copy an open source project (that was put on a permissive open source license with the best of intentions) and then AWS just directly compete with the original maintainers/authors company.
