Correlation is not causation. I don’t see anything on that list that is a consequence of the license.
That's an interesting point. The GPL does not restrict what software can do. GPL software can potentially do all of these things. Heck, a virus or malware could be GPL licensed, there's nothing stopping that.
The advantage is that under the GPL, they must provide sources which allows the user (who must have software engineering skills) to modify the software to change behavior.
