If you're trying to pivot this to a place where I'll concede that AGPL is a good thing, you're wasting energy, because I already think AGPL is a good thing. I'm not making this point about contracts because I'm motivated to talk down AGPL; I'm doing it because, in my experience over the last 15 years, it has definitely not been the case that companies are comfortable entering into arbitrary contracts. It's just not true.

Precisely. Also the negotiation takes a long time and usually the risk is not as high as agpl, since these contracts dont have clauses like 'all your ip is mine'(except one player here known to try to sneak such a clause in every time).
