I think viewing licenses as just about lawsuits is a reductionist take on the issue.
A license can provide a strong indication of your wishes even if you don't ever intend to sue. I don't think it "requires you to enforce the threat" to be effective as a signal to others, particularly companies.
Now, you could say putting a note that isn't part of the license would have the same effect, but I find that hard to believe.
