There may be a fairly miniscule one...

There do exist "GPL zealots" that bash, as "not free" (in the sense
that people are doubtless well aware of), stuff licensed under a "BSD
license."

There may be some non-zero advantage to saying "MIT style," in that
this changes coasts ;-) and takes a micro-step away from the political
aspects of "BSD vs GPL."

But I'm not disagreeing with you, by any means! :-)
