As an example to back up your point RMS has explicitly supported the use of non-GPL licenses for codecs as a strategic move to avoid being shut out of that market by network effects.

RMS has also endorsed selling exceptions to the GPL, see https://www.fsf.org/blogs/rms/selling-exceptions

GPL/AGPL + fee for exceptions seems like a reasonable model to promote freedom and fairness.
