Share Alike is the expression for fear of abuse.

In my mind there cant be any abuse of OSM data. I want the OSM Data to be
available everywhere and anyone. And it needs to be a no brainer which it isnt
right now. For corporations its most of the time easier to spend 500K€ on a
commercial dataset than to spend 5k€ on a Lawyer analyzing a licensing issue.

ANY restriction is a problem for adoption as one can see e.g. from
the discussion about geocoding data.
