Lawyers run businesses, and drafting custom contracts/licence are a big part of their business.
GPL and standardized licences destroy this part of their business.
Also who pays a lawyers to read the thousands of page of licences for say Microsoft software (all the version of all the software deployed)? Where I work no one is able to know what Microsoft licence we need to buy, even when we ask licence sellers they mostly don't answer, and it changes all the time.
IIRC early Microsoft Visual C++ licences did not authorize the diffusion of debug compiled executables (don't know if it's still the case). How many violation of this?
