I'd probably replicate a 1x1x1m cube of tungsten, then realize I have no way of removing it from the replicator.

Yeah, but you and I aren't really representative of all software people. Most of them just want to grill.
Why do they not care?
Because, for many of them, they don't have any reason to. In other words, privilege. Copyleft licensing is a subversive, anti-establishment thing, and software engineers are predominantly people who benefit from the established power structures. Middle/upper class white men (I'm included in that category, by the way). There's basically no pressure for them to rock the boat.
And why would they avoid GPL
Because many of them are "libertarian" ideologues who have a myopic focus on negative liberty (as opposed to the positive variety).
Well, my experiences with my coworkers would lead me to pretty much exactly the opposite conclusion: the majority would probably intentionally avoid the GPL, if they even care at all.
I can’t believe professional developers choose MIT because they can’t be arsed to look at the license choices
Have you worked with many professional developers?
The unfortunate reality is that a significant proportion of software engineers (and other IT folks) are either laissez-faire "libertarians" who are ideologically opposed to the restrictions in the GPL, or "apolitical" tech-bros who are mostly just interested in their six figure paychecks and fancy toys.
To these folks, the MIT/BSD licenses have fewer restrictions, and are therefore more free, and are therefore more better.
Is Chatterbox a gay bar? I've been going there for a couple years and thought it was just a jazz bar with a pride flag in the window.
Regardless, still glad they threw out the fascist.
Excuse me, the Hidenburg was not merely a blimp, it was a rigid airship. JD could never.

Please be careful when copying anything that could be considered your employer's intellectual property (almost certainly anything you built as an employee falls into this category) off of that employer's systems.
And definitely be even more careful about using one employer's IP for a new employer (neither company would be pleased to discover this).

I was about to say the same thing, but I looked it up and I don't think this film was on MST3K at all. That was the similar The Horror of Party Beach.
