Licensing generally applies only to the thing being licensed and not its output.

Otherwise all software written with a GPLv3 editor would also be GPLv3…or all software built with a GPLv3 compiler would be GPLv3. (Neither are true)

That's because the output isn't a derivative work of the licensed software.
