It's not that people wouldn't want to share - most wouldn't care - but it adds a complexity that bloggers would probably not be interested in. As if they have that kind of time on their hands.
It just means people will look to use something else.

I don't think it works like that. It's not that you're obligated to share your own modifications. If you distribute it, then those users can modify it and share it if they want.

If I only make copies of a GPL-covered program and run them, without distributing or conveying them to others, what does the license require of me?
Nothing. The GPL does not place any conditions on this activity."
