You can fully, legally use AGPL software as Amazon was doing as long as you follow the licensing terms.

Which doesn’t help the FOSS developers extract money out of the cloud users because they can just use the free (for whatever value of ‘free’ Amazon provides) bundled version without any support contacts or whatever.

If your entire business model is based on giving away the software you can see how this might be a problem, no?

Are you disagreeing with me or just giving more detail? Because I think that's what I was saying. My opinion is that this is not fair to a company like MongoDB.
