While true, there's no restriction on the subscribers making the code public.

True (and one can't add it, as the license procludes doing so), but in my experience working for a company that distributed most of its software under the A/LGPL licenses to paying customers only, they aren't really interested in doing that. We never had one of our modules being publicly distributed by a third-party.
