He understands it perfectly. That's why he asked nicely at first. Nixos just "request denied" him after rounds of requests and discussion. With that he's roiled up to change the license to exclude Nixos.
He just doesn't want the extra work to support another distro which would include an outdated version of his package.
It's not because he asks nicely that people have to agree or accept. This is literally the nice guy meme.
If you make a license FOSS then people are free to do what they want. Just don't make it FOSS if you don't want.
If you look at his bio on github, it's the epitome of the nice-guy meme.
"Slightly assholic at first sight Actually a nice guy that just likes to get stuff done."
If you have to warn people that you're an asshole and then try to convince people that you're actually a nice guy, then you're probably not a nice guy.
