I do not think anybody is making the _legal_ argument that consumers of publicly available software with an associated clear LICENSE file are granted any additional rights. Open Source is much more than what you are suggesting. It's like saying all there is to soccer/football is <first degree technical definition here>.
Just like most things, there is a very important and obvious people/social dimension on top of that.
It's not entirely surprising this is a problem in our industry. After all, Software Engineers are most definitely NOT known for their social skills. The emergent properties of human interactions over time is a very complicated problem.
