Yep, agreed. Huge pet peeve of mine as well.
It's not like anyone's under any obligations to provide any sort of rights, but at some point you have to admit that the term "open source" comes with a lot of expectations and norms that licenses like BSL just simply do not meet, and trying to call your project "open source" or call BSL in the "spirit" of open source is just misleading.
