I don't have a lot of confidence that they'll try to comply.
Just for example, Wix blatantly violated the GPL, taking and using quite a bit of WordPress code and even initially calling themselves WixPress (https://ma.tt/2016/10/wix-and-the-gpl/). From a cost/benefit standpoint, AFAIK the cost of this was 0 and the benefit was a billion dollar a year company that's worth many billions.
At most, the cost was that a few nerds might not use Wix out of principle, but those nerds aren't the target of Wix anyway.
