You forgot, that Alice could license it under BY or even PD, then Bob 
takes Alices and uses it commercially which would be the opposite of the 
original intention of the creator.

You're prooving yourself, that CC-NC-SA makes a lot of sense.
I think its more the other way around, to have a NC clause without SA is 
really pointless, then yopu could as well skip the NC part, because it 
would work only for the first generation.
