I don't see how AGPL does not run afoul of item 10 of OSI's definition of open source [1], which is that the license must be technology-neutral, which they describe as "No provision of the license may be predicated on any individual technology or style of interface".
AGPL has provisions that only apply when a remote user interacts with the program over a computer network. Those provision do not apply if a local user interacts with the program or if a remote user interacts with it by some means other than a computer network.
To meet the requirements of item 10 those provisions should apply when any user interacts with the program regardless of whether they are local or remote and regardless of what particular technology is used to carry the communications between the user and the program.
