The usual issue is the "anti-tivoization" language (basically: the GPLv3 requires hardware that uses GPLv3-licensed software to allow users to install modified versions of that software on the hardware in question). There's also some language around patent licenses that might be unattractive to a company that deals in a lot of software patents (like Apple).
