Why is there so little discussion of the MPL 2.0 license on HN?

Question

The license appeals to me as a good middle ground between GPL and MIT but I am unable to find a high quality debate about its merits or flaws on HN or anywhere else for that matter.

It isn't a middle ground; it's a copyleft, like the GPL. Distribution of executables requires source code.
It's hard to imagine what a middle ground between GPL and MIT would look like, because the key difference (the requirement that modifications must be shared in source code form) is a yes-no proposition.
(One idea is a license which allows redistribution without source code for some limited time period, after which the source must be provided to the users.)
