I honestly can't remember why I chose the AGPL.

Lots of desktop programs are being turned into “VNC in your browser”-type things. Maybe that was it?

Desktop GUI apps can be SaaSed by tying them to a virtual desktop.

Or it could be using AGPL components.

I would guess that it’s because of the Qt libraries, but this is just an assumption.

Using Qt does not require you to use (A)GPL, and it had that license before it used Qt.
