If a new version of the GPL adds restrictions, that still can be undesirable for the writer if the original software.

If a third party forks a GPLv2+ project, adding features that are GPLv3+ licensed, the result is GPLv3+ licensed.

That means those wanting the GPLv2 licensed project won’t be able to use those new features.
