It is quite telling that most cloud companies stay away from AGPL. Their business model is antisocial.

You mean the licence is anti-business and pro-social.
AGPL only closes the SaaS loophole and forces them to publish their changes to the code. It's not anti-business at all.

You could argue the BSL is anti-business. But IMHO even that one is only a reaction to abuse. Database companies investing millions in research, development, and maintenance for some trillion dollar corporation to take it and make billions off it without giving back a single penny.
