From where I left

No one is expected to use any of the code licensed in this way commercially. You enter a contract with the vendor, tell them what you need, and negotiate a price. At that point, it doesn't really matter what the copyright license says.

So the entire license is just a bad faith trap? I could see it being used that way, potentially, but I don't believe that's actually Confluent's, MongoDB's, Elastic's, Hashicorp's, or Redis Labs' intent. In fact they've all explicitly stated the opposite. Are they all lying?

I don't think it's in bad faith. A lot of people still believe that they have to pay one of AdaCore/Baylibre/Embecosm/Red Hat/SUSE/Wind River if you want to use GCC commercially, to cover GPL-related risk.
