AGPL is "a plague" by design (viral). It has the explicit goal that any improvements flow back to the community project and the virality is a necessary building block for this. It is an elegant solution to a tragedy of the commons problem.

Companies like MinIO extending the virality beyond the single software/work, even though not intended by license, gives it a bad reputation. They have fixed https://min.io/compliance now, but I guess it does not matter anymore.
