"more permissive" = plugins shipping compiled bundles and not the source code.

This is no successor, it's not even in the same universe. - vendor lock-in, losing gpl, losing access to plugins source code, loosing ownership.
The problem is that people misunderstand why WP was and is better than all alternatives that tried to take it's place, I have no idea either but I know that others have tried same thing as CF and failed.
