GPL protects against someone taking your code, adding proprietary extensions, and closing off access to the source code.

True. Was Omarchy doing that? (I'm confused why changing the license matters, if both projects are already open source and releasing all the code to the public anyways)

They don't need to wait for the last step of a rug pull to occur, the trajectory is worrisome enough to take action before the shit hits the fan.

True, but knowing why they went GPL, it is hilarious. They had MIT and they were mad about another MIT-licensed project using their work.

I think the concerns are more long term than that.
