Well yeah, it is. Some function that you wrote years ago in an hour having one line taken out of it to be used in a project that wouldn't have made money anyways doesn't hurt you at all regardless of what license is on your project. Getting upset because "that was MINE!" does come off as very selfish.

It's not being upset over money, the point is not wanting proprietary code to include my code or code derived from mine.

I don't care if people make money using GPL'd code, but I do care if they take the code and strip the license so they can use it in non-free projects.
