This may be one of the reasons the GPL is so widely used...by default just because it is the most widely used, and not necessarily because it is the best for a particular project.  To research through the many licenses is either extremely time consuming or extremely expensive.

This is a good argument for a "recommended" list of licenses, but not
for more restrictive approval criteria. If there is a list of
recommended licenses covering the spectrum of common licensing
objectives, this will provide a starting point that should suffice for
most purposes. If one's needs weren't met by a license on the
recommended list, one could still search through the remaining
approved licenses or draft a new one.
