But... every product that doesn't have a price sticker attached to the box (which includes pretty much every development tool out there) has an "obfuscated pricing model". Are you saying you'd never buy a commercial database product? A RHEL site license? Maybe not, but if so: why are you complaining about the GPL specifically instead of just stating that you won't buy products without fixed pricing?
I'm complaining about the GPL in conjunction with obfuscated pricing. If their pricing were more transparent, I would certainly have less of a problem.
And yes, I know that many products are sold on a negotiated, non-fixed-price basis. I generally do everything possible to avoid buying those products, as that is too often a cover for predatory pricing practices. There are plenty of ways to do sensible price differentiation while still stating your policies clearly.
