So, if I read you right, the GPL seeks to control these while BY-SA doesn't. 
Is that a fair statement?

If so, what is it about code that works such that doing this does not cause 
undue hardship while proposing that BY-SA do the same will cause undue 
hardships in the eyes of many? (some?)

Or do those objecting to a stronger copyleft in BY-SA dislike the GPL?
