Objectively the need to attribute limits the usefulness of an asset like this at scale or even, when not at scale, by just adding complexity to ‘do things right’. I’m not saying that the limitation is not worth it. But I wonder if creators factor this in when choosing a license. If you want to make an artefact that reaches a huge scale, become a standard, etc. mandatory attribution hinders adoption. If it is about visibility (and ego) it makes sense. If it is about profit by limiting commercial use, maybe but why not just make it paid for and profit from all uses.
