That's an interesting argument to have. Two points from my side
a) VMware is the one removing its own copyright - I haven't seen any
suggestion that that's not acceptable
b) it is rather questionable if a single instruction is even copyrightable :-)

Yes, since MIT is a template license you can't remove it without making
it impossible to follow the compliance requirements (the copyright
becomes part of the license text).
