You might be right that there is a small addition in the runtime of the program, but there often is in GPL3 programs. For example, in CLI programs you are supposed to provide an option to display the license and where to get the source code.
I don't think this small addition to guarantee the integrity of the free software ecosystem deserves such strong language as "non-free". My feeling is corporations would love to take your argument and run with it to reduce the mindshare of AGPL. It's a classic PR tactic to pick on some small imperfection that serves a critical purpose and use it to gain an asymmetrically large advantage.
