What do you do when your car is missing a feature that you want? You bring it to a mechanic, and you pay them to add the functionality you want. The GPL means freedom.
And telling someone they need to respect the freedoms that you grant them is not restricting their freedom. It costs nothing to share your source code, and it should be the default state of software development. It's like the silliness around the tolerance paradox. An action that creates more freedom in the world can never be seen as "less free" than one that doesn't.

However, I don't personally believe AGPL does this as equitably as some other licenses.
