GPL > Profit of greedy corporations.
Ordinary people can still use your work; businesses will have to ask you for dual licensing or hire you. Or they can publish the code of their product under GPL.
Of course, if you are already wealthy and only want publicity and to not be bothered, then it's better not to license under GPL.
Moreover, GPL is constantly being violated, and one must be prepared to defend their rights in court, which is of little interest to most people.
