Lots of companies will draw the line in different places. Some will accept GPLv2 but not GPLv3. Some will accept GPLv3 but not AGPLv3.

Google and Meta have policies against using any AGPL code anywhere.
I wonder why, it is not like it is hard to comply with.
Legal absolutism and intransigency, and maybe some ideological retribution. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I paid my dues in MAANG. Business culturally, control seemed all-important. They seemed to want source they could use without giving a dime to maintainers, if they so chose. Some support was given, but not enough and not uniformly.
