I added a comment to your post saying this:

Your conclusions are incorrect because you are jumping to a single
conclusion that is not justified. When the BSD/ISC/MIT licenses say that
you must include the text of the license in derivative works, that's
exactly what is meant: the words of the license must be provided as part of
the documentation. It does not mean that they must be incorporated into the
license of the derived work, which can be whatever you want.
