A more restrictive license wouldn’t help in that case.

Well, it depends. Elsewhere in the thread, people mentioned licenses that have ethics clauses:

  1. https://firstdonoharm.dev/
  2. https://anticapitalist.software/

How enforceable (or whether I would actually have the resources to do something) these are is another problem, but it still might give some entity pause. Just generally though, using a restrictive license like GPL is pretty likely to make Puppy Punching Worldwide Inc look for other alternatives as well. Odds are, their puppy punching software isn't going to be compatible with a license like the GPL.
