Maybe that is because you are looking at it as a developer, and not as an end user. It is the freedom of the end users that is being preserved.

No, that is exactly backwards. Since the GPL only prohibits redistribution

The GPL does not prohibit redistribution.  Copyright law does that.

The GPL does not, in fact, prohibit much of anything. It is a license that allows redistribution under specific terms.

Yes we are back to the "better than a sharp stick in the eye" argument. It "does not permit" redistribution except under specific terms that in many cases are impossible to meet.
