The paragraph doesn’t really explain the rationale for forbidding WTFPL and even Public Domain and CC0? They’re all fine for commercial use, aren’t they?

  I thought they were basically BSD/MIT but even less annoying.

  Only a guess, but it could be because WTFPL is effectively very similar to having no license at all from what I gather
