Google et. al (and OSI for that matter) will find no such alike-license acceptable until a platform using that license becomes too valuable to ignore, like Linux with GPLv2. So the calculus has to tilt such that giving their work away for free is worth it because they get so, so much work for free. And even then they will try to work around it like with Fuschia.
Plus since everything is served over the internet these days unless a license includes AGPL-type clauses the alike requirement will not attach.
