I'm not really seeing how the MIT license has much of a bearing on his situation here.
GNU licensed code is also used and relied upon for commercial purposes, and people aren't any more likely to respect or donate to GNU-licensed projects than they are to donate to MIT-licensed ones.
And actually, if you're looking at it from the perspective of really wanting to fuck up a large number of companies, MIT license would be a great choice.
First you bait them into using your code by maintaining the project for years, then once everyone relies on you, you suddenly pull the plug and make them eat shit. :joker-troll:
That being said, he should absolutely pull the plug on core-js maintenance.
