Wait, what? Elaborate what?  You're the one that came up with a
non-issue, and now you want me to explain why it is an issue?

I already said - under the circumstances you describe, you're using GPL
sofware in a perfectly legitimate way.  What is the issue to be solved?

Do you think that somehow I might want to solve the "issue" of someone
using GPLed software in a commercial product?

I honestly don't know what you're asking here.  I'm not even sure you
know what you're asking.
