But why change any MODULE_LICENSE text?

There are uses of MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") where
the SPDX license identifier is some GPL variant

For instance:
$ git grep -P --name-only
'MODULE_LICENSE\s*\("GPL"\s*\)\s*;'| \
  xargs grep "SPDX-License-
Identifier:" | \
  cut -f3- -d: | \
  sed -r 's@\s*\*/\s*$@@' | \
  sort |
uniq -c | sort -rn
    551  GPL-2.0+
    281  GPL-2.0
     13  GPL-1.0+
    
  9  GPL-2.0-only
      2  GPL-2.0 OR MIT
      1  (GPL-2.0 OR MPL-1.1)
   
   1  (GPL-2.0+ OR BSD-3-Clause)
      1  (GPL-2.0 OR BSD-3-Clause)

And if you were to do this, please do it tree-wide,
and ideally via a script
