I think that the AGPL is a fine language in cases where the code being released is a complete system, that you want many people/organizations to use and improve it, but you don't want anyone cloning it as their own standalone product. I understand why Google would not want to use it, and also other large companies. For individuals and smaller companies I think the AGPL can make good sense, especially for complete web applications.

Yup. In the same way that you could have a license that requires people to publicly criticize <Politician> to use your software. You'll get some. But most will just not agree to your terms.
