But a proprietary fork doesn't change anything for permissively-licenced projects either! The open original is still available, you can still use it and fork it. If it's a popular project, a community-maintained fork will always happen.

As a user, permissive licences give me enough freedom.

It just mostly makes them irrelevant by EEE. A permissive license is simply asking for it.
