I kind of want to call these "wedge licenses". If anyone were to actually use them, they'd wedge the open source community into a group that can basically treat it as open source, and those who can't. I dread to think about what happens if any wedged licensed program becomes a widely used dependency. In that regard, these types of license should be thought of as a contaminate. The divisive element is what's driving the visceral reaction, and if anything, I think it's healthy. It shows people care. id Software serves as a good example of what should be done. They released their no longer profitable previous-generation game engines as plain open source. That's more respectful of community norms.
