It's slightly annoying to be told time after time after time to only
use "clean" data for OSM, but now that some people want a change it's
ok to have slightly less clean data under the new license...

This has nothing to do about wanting anything to fail, it's about not
loosing years of work due to some people not willing to compromise
over the CTs mostly, not the license.

I'm not being petty in the least, I want a compromise, but others have
outright refused to even consider any kind of a compromise that will
save years of work without resorting to shady legal tactics.
