Why would open-source advocates want to stop people from doing the very thing that open-source exists to enable?
I get that this is inconvenient for Elastic, but it’s good for users.

By people you mean, the big tech who literally did zero effort to support OSS and do everything in their power to fully control the market even if this means pushing the open-source business model out of the market? Or abusing the OSS legal license?
I don’t see this as abuse, but rather an easily contemplated and straightforward use of the license.
What's straightforward about forking an open source project to get more money?
