Agree it's complex, and when attempting to solve a particular problem you end up with yet another license every time.
What businesses in particular want is a "Yes, you can read the code and yes you help if you want to, but you can't use the code to make your own product" source-available license (because they have devs to pay, and being able to keep doing that is the first thing they need to protect).
I think such licenses do sort of exist but they're fragmented.
The root of this particular argument seems to the definition of Open Source meaning unconstrained use of source code, instead of source-available.
