I think there's plenty of room for people to object to the "had to change licenses" framing. They chose to change licenses, same as they chose the original license.

That original license probably helped them with goodwill and to gain a community; when those benefits no longer exceeded the downsides of using that license, they changed licenses to one that suited them better.

Naturally, this change costs them some amount of goodwill, a portion of the very goodwill that they harvested by choosing an open-source license in the first place.
