You don't get it because free software has nothing to do with open source. GPL was made to enforce the free software philosophy, not open source. Stallman doesn't give a damn about open source.
Back in times, when internet was not such a thing and there were no git nor github, selling free software licensed under GPL as is was a profitable business model.
Today GPL and free software is more about enforcing transparency for the users. Spywares are everywhere in proprietary softwares, it's a thing. When license your code under GPL you refuse to take part on that. It's a political act.
GPL enforces sharing improvements too and improve the integrity of the project. But that's more of a side effect than the initial intent the FSF had when they first wrote the license.
Finally, Richard Stallman is not a communist. He's more of a libertarian anarchist, but who believes in a regalian state.
