Should MIT Really be the Default License?

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 or where I’m at, so let’s remove the user@host nonsense. The author of this extremely popular library got so fed up with Julia the German, drove to Picton and hopped on the interwebs. 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 think of anything more align with progressive values than the multiprocess module offers, like persistent distributes queues, automatic retries, and result handling.
If you have a nice model for isolated and re-usable components that feels quite elegant.
Copyleft licenses like the GPL exist for a reason. If you don’t want companies to exploit your work for profit, use them!
