That's not true. As the copyright holder they are not bound by the licence that they release it to others under.

The reason AGPL isn't being adopted in these situations is that it doesn't sufficiently protect against someone doing what e.g. AWS repeatedly does - turning open-source projects into services and then dominating the market while continuing to benefit from the upstream project. See the ElasticSearch licence change for a prominent example.

I am not sure being closed source is much comfort if AWS decide they want to crush you.

Isn’t that precisely what AGPL is for?
