Unless you are using your software as a resume and need more Github stars to land you interviews, this is a fine result if it gets you more money. Companies like money more than they like clout - and it won't help them to have a billion users and then be undermined by "AWS Grafana" and slowly go out of business. I much prefer companies choosing the AGPL over going proprietary, using a franken-license or going out of business because Amazon sucked out all the oxygen.

Edit: it just occurred to me that opting for popularity over money is "paying" yourself with exposure.
