the intention is not to make it easier for companies to use, it's to put a burden on them. The aim is not to make the software widely used - but ethically used.

Sounds like a great model to get people to use software.

Yes. it is not a model to get people to use it at all!!
I think the aim is not to get as many people to use the software. It's to get certain people not to use it.
It's kind of like comparing a non profit to a for profit business and noticing that the non profit does not have the aim to make more money.
I wouldn't expect any library or application to have this license on to become popular at all. But there might be a use for better worded exclusive licenses somewhere in our world.
