Seems like the above clause doesn’t actually allow you to add any features
that the OS doesn’t already have.

It's easier that way. You are not allowed to change anything, so you
don't work on it and there is nothing to restrict on the modifications
you couldn't have done.

With the GPL, on the other side, it's more difficult because you provide
your changes mixed with the initial code. So it needs to define how your
work can be prevail on the code provided by others.
