Administrative burden isn't academic, but it's not peculiar to AGPL, either. GPLv2/3-style copyleft gets forgone all the time on pure process grounds. It's nontrivial to identify which permissive licenses apply to some bag of artifacts an engineer dug up online.
FSF faced fork threats when it floated AGPL-GPL merger in GPLv3.

The AGPL however greatly expands the scope of folks to whom the burden applies. Some companies can basically just look for AGPL to exclude because they don't distribute anything. Others (like us) must check everything.
