That's a good point, though honestly I never could understand why you would use anything but Apache (for permissive) or (A)GPL (for copyleft). Other options seem like oversights (BSD/MIT don't cover patents) or cutting off your nose to spite your face (WTFPL). I'm sure there's nuance, but I can't seem to see it.

MIT license and BSD license seem to long predate Apache.

GPL and AGPL differ vastly in a few important aspects that make GPL pretty OK for commercial companies, and AGPL an absolute no-no.
