I have no idea why.I don't think you quite understand really how big the OGL was back in the day and how many games and tools and elements are its descendants. This is like if someone was threatening to Thanos snap a certain brand of nails out of existence. A lot of people are kind of inexplicably pulling up to laugh and say "I don't care, I've never even heard of that brand of nails and I'm being very careful not to think of the livelihoods of all the people involved in it, so I can joyfully tell everyone I don't care for some reason", only they don't know if those nails were used to build their house or the swing set on their kids' playground, or if just one was used to hold up that family photo hanging over the mantle just so that it might knock over nana's ashes if it fell off the wall.The OGL is a widespread, thought not ubiquitous or universal element of the gaming industry. There's no cool points to win saying you don't care or are unaffected; there's too many people who are for that.</blockquote>
