I agree with you and I am a fan of EUPL, but even if it is pretty much the same as MPL 2.0, Google, for example, has an explicit ban on it just like it has on AGPL3.

Probably there's no real reason apart from legal saying "meh, we can't be bothered about reviewing this"

As I don't care about Google using my code or not, I choose EUPL, but it's worth mentioning that some companies only accept permissive licenses that grant them the right to do basically whatever they want with your code.

Free software has almost lost, now that MIT has become the default, pushed hard by corporations and its employees.

Not sure what you mean. GPL-style licensing is still very popular among open source projects. Sure, there are perhaps a lot more projects that are MIT-licensed (and similar), but that doesn't detract from the body of thriving GPL-licensed software.
