The issue the Apache Foundation had with the license was that it was incompatible with the Apache license; they weren't making a value judgement about it being good, bad, strong, or weak. Many other excellent licenses are also in "Category-X".

The GPL, LGPL, and AGPL are also in that list, so by itself this isn't much of an indictment of the license itself.
Apache placed React's BSD + PATENTS in "Category-X", banning it from being used in Apache projects:

It was designed for Facebook to fight patent trolls, but not for you. In comparison with saner license like Apache 2.0, Facebook's license only applied to Facebook.
> The BSD licence is objectively worse than the BSD+Patent Grant.
That is false. Please read up on "implicit patents license".
