Are you a lawyer? A great deal many lawyers have reviewed the AGPL and labeled it too risky for their companies. While I tend to agree with your interpretation of it, I still am extra cautious and avoid AGPL software when I can for infrastructure products like this. I am cautious because of the lawyers opinions on it, and I am also cautious because many companies that adopt an AGPL license turn out to be not very good open source stewards, and they put up roadblocks to community contributions that weaken the project and make having a real open source community behind the projects nearly impossible. There are some exceptions, but they are rare, so I exercise extreme caution around AGPL licensed products.
