I bring it up because we don't have all the tools we need to say no to
those licenses - it is quite possible to submit a license that
complies with all our formal requirements without improving the
overall ecosystem, and we have no formal way to say no to those.

[I do think there are still improvements possible in licenses, else I
wouldn't have done MPL 2, or participated heavily in copyleft-next.]
