Sure, I'm not saying they don't have a right to try to enforce the
requirement to make source available even in the case of unmodified
binary distribution. I'm just saying that there's no particular reason
why anyone who's more interested in the practical impact of the GPL
rather than the ideology behind it should be particularly concerned
about entities failing to distribute source as required in instances
where that source is trivially available elsewhere.
