That's a strawman argument: CC promotes By and By-SA licenses as well

No, it's not. Prohibiting TPM distribution is quite clearly a

Since distribution is always a use, then *any* distribution requirement

ensures the ability of the end user to apply TPM through the simple
expedient of making that the way to access CC material on a TPM platform.
