> Regardless, it looks like exhibit #187 of FOSS failing for anyone outside of hobbyists and FAANGs.

Forks that survive after splitting off are cases of FOSS succeeding, not failing. Failing would mean closing down, in this case it's replicating with changes, we (the public) are getting even more options.

The idea behind choosing a license like MIT is that people can create forks from your work, requiring not much more than attribution. If what the license calls out as valid is considered a failure in your eyes, don't choose a license like MIT.
