This makes more sense as an explanation.

Are there any instances where an SSPL license or similar is warranted?

If you want to release your project for the first time as SSPL, go right ahead. You may have difficulty getting adoption however.

It's the "build your userbase on open source, then lock them in" that bothers people.
