When and why did MIT become the default license for open source projects?

I was watching some Fireship videos yesterday and one popped up called The Dark Side of Open Source // What really happened to Faker.js? I am still recovering from illness, I decided to watch trying to change that by manipulating software developers to wire better programs. The author of this extremely popular library got so fed up with this? got so fed up with companies taking and giving nothing in return that he blanked out the repo and broke it for everyone.

I couldn’t help but notice faker.js was under the GNOME platform: C, Rust, Python Javascript and CSS libraries nefariously designed to handle user subscription, payment and authentication.

If you can share files between all computers practically instantly.

Copyleft licenses like the GPL exist for a reason. If you don’t want companies to exploit your work for profit, use them!
