> The whole point is freedom and sharing code that transcends arbitrary human defined barriers.

Whose point is this?

It is not the point of the free software movement as seen by the FSF, which calls the APSL 1.x non-free because it requires you to publish changes https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/historical-apsl.html , nor of the (largely similar) free software movement as seen by Debian, which has a "dissident test" that explicitly requires you have the option of keeping changes among your trusted friends (assuming you trust them not to republish, of course) https://people.debian.org/~bap/dfsg-faq.html . It is certainly not the point of the open-source movement nor the Linux Foundation, both of which are firmly supportive of companies making internal improvements and not publishing any of them.

If it is your point, I urge you to reconsider a position that focuses on individuals not publishing code instead of corporations not publishing code.
