No - it's much better than copyleft - the only point he has is the lack of patent grants - which is achievable without copyleft (like Apache license).
Apache gives you the code and the ability to integrate the code in to your product where the copyleft part might not fit.
Open source isn't some ideological dogma for me or these companies - it's a tool to lower the cost of maintenance/support (eg. community is very good at maintaining ports for niche use cases you don't have the resources to support), gain exposure and provide better tools for developers (it's much easier to work with tools that you have source access to).
If you see open source as that then (A)GPL becomes a niche license that's useful for stuff like giving people free access but knowing that copyleft will unacceptable for most commercial applications so they will need to license a custom version (eg. this is the business model of companies like Qt, Xamarin, etc.)
