Oops, that was old.
We had long discussions on and off HN about this topic. The biggest problem with SSPL is it is not an open-source license and we got a bunch of pushback (rightly so) for calling ourselves open-source.
We initially went with SSPL to help prevent cloud providers from offering this as a service. However, there was a viewpoint that AGPLv3 already provides this and there is no reason for SSPL. Also, neither has been held up in court.
In the end, we prioritized something which our community felt strongly about. The business risk was questionable anyway.
