I'd be fine if framed as big corps vs independent devs ie Vue or Ember. But you were using React's uniqueness as de facto evidence of guilt
You'd probably argue that the MIT license implied a very liberal permission to use and would probably win.

But untested in court so yes let's push more people to use Apache.

Here's the difference: virtually nobody with plain MIT licenses is *intending* to reserve the right to sue in some conditions.

In contrast, Facebook is explicitly telling you that they *intend* to restrict the right to use the software to certain conditions.

So if you ask Polymer to switch to Apache, chances are they'd say yes (subject legal boilerplate work).
-
In contrast asking the same of React is perceived (accurately) as a very controversial attack on their license.
