I don’t get the blanket ban on AGPL-am I misunderstanding how attach-y it is?

For example, people seem to have the impression that if you host something like an AGPL email validation service that just has an API to request a check for an email and then connects via SMTP, which another service calls, that you “infect” your product that even uses that API.

I get that if you change the service and/or expose it publicly you have to make the changes available, but it seems misunderstood.
