The model might differ for copy left licenses, but nothing really prevents it at the end of the day. I think GCC's arcane code base made the situation worse versus business sense. Otherwise Red Hat or MariaDB would be dead. Does it matter if my competitor can take advantage of my bug fix in a compiler? I don't think copy left licenses are a good fit for every project, but there is certain infrastructure in the world where ideally everyone can benefit.
