To be clear, I don't think every project everywhere needs to be GPL or FOSS. But Bitcoin wallets should be. Bitcoin's ethos is to build open tools to empower people over institutions. An institution that builds proprietary Bitcoin tools clearly doesn't get this ethos, and should not be trusted IMO.
Not to mention, relicensing GPL code to be non-GPL is against the terms of the license. Any subsequent license would be null, AFAIK.
