Frankly, that's a fantastic use of the GPL. The idea that open source developers should bend over backwards to support the use case of people who can't be assed to give back to the open source community is ridiculous. If a company wants to make proprietary software off the back of open source developers, they can pay for a commercial license. Everyone else is free to use the GPL.

All other so-called "free" licenses are just a way for corporations to co-opt the open source software community.
