A license can allow something, but there can still be companies that are good citizens of the open source community of things licensed that way and other companies that are not so good. In turn, that can affect how likely others are to view those companies favorably and/or cooperate with them. e.g. I favor Prusa 3d printers over other vendors because Prusa provides substantial resources to development of the tooling that we all use. Other vendors are (usually) compliant with the contract, but may not be seen as good citizens by everyone in the community, and this can have consequences even if it doesn't have legal force.
