Apache2 is compatible with GNU GPLv3, though.

Compatible doesn't mean equivalent. GPLv2, AGPL, and LGPL are all compatible with GPLv3, but they don't have the same terms.

GPLv2+ (GPLv2 with the optional "or any later version" language) is compatible with GPLv3, but GPLv2 is not otherwise compatible with GPLv3 (e.g., Linux is under GPLv2, and not GPLv3 compatible.)
