AGPL isn't a fix for the Big 3 co-opting projects.
Amazon doesn't need to modify your software to provide a differentiated offering: they'll build a bunch of platform-specific, closed source, "secret sauce" to scale it on their infrastructure only and sell that.
(And for bonus points: their secret sauce may or may not affect interop, creating an awkward rift in the capabilities between their managed offering of your software.)
