We do read open-source licences and understand them. They are designed
to be read and understood. Unlike proprietary EULAs.
Case in point: the question you were asking about below.

That's definitely a good thing. The licenses are also shorter, so even
if it were difficult to understand, reading it wouldn't take that much
time.

That's a good point. The licenses users of proprietary software might have
agreed to on day one will become so different by day three that the terms
might not be so agreeable. We've all received those e-mails from services
telling us that the terms have changed. Many of those terms have, in the
past few years, become increasingly restrictive.
That's why I don't bother reading them, I know they're going to get more
restrictive every time. And it's also why I'm moving most of my mail away
from Yahoo and Gmail and to other providers, like Vivaldi and Yandex — and
maybe Posteo. I don't trust Google (or Yahoo) to NOT shut down my email
account if I don't toe the Woke line. Google was started with grant money
from the NSA and its CEO for several years was an ex-CIA wonk.
No fan of Google or Yahoo anymore (unfortunately I once was). Remember when
Yahoo was the place to go when you wanted to get around the Internet?
Hopefully we'll get that point with Google in the not too distant future.
Moving their Chrome browser to Manifest 3 might be the first chink in their
armor. (We'll see. Probably not, but I can hope.)
