You‘ve got it backwards. The political idea came first, the GPL was only a means to achieve political goals that came after.
And I don‘t think the political idea has shifted much, if any.
Honestly, I think you‘re mixing all kinds of unrelated stuff together (PlayStation, Linux on the desktop) and you‘re forming a post-hoc explanation that just doesn‘t work.
