Very much this.

As a commercial consumer of FOSS, AGPL has been troubling for me. As a non-commercial hacker, AGPL has been fine for me: GPL is fine here, and distribution as defined by SaaS or tarball is equivalent; I share back.

My opinions are that non-commercial FOSS projects probably shouldn't choose AGPL but that small-ish commercial FOSS projects (like Grafana, et al) probably should so that big commercial entities don't eat their lunch.

AGPL seemed like a tool that was mostly ahead of its time but is nice to have now.
