<<Crippling OGC causes the re-user to change the name. This makes it impossible
for people reading the re-use to have a lot harder time tracing the OGL back
to its original source, effectively severing it from it's origination... which
is exactly the opposite of the intention of the crippler.

People providing PI licenses for their spell name collections are hardly "crippling" the OGC. Particularly some of the PI licenses I've seen have been VERY easy to use, and free to boot.
It's actually a fantastically more restrictive thing to do what a number of vendors have done: to declare the mechanics in their spells as OGC and to declare the verbatim _expression_ of their spells as PI. That means that you have to rewrite the spell from scratch. That's fantastically more crippling, and those folks frequently do not provide a PI license.
I think calling PI licenses like those used by Clark and others as "crippling" the OGC is a little far fetched.
