That licence tends to have the dual effect of dissuading otherwise valid users from using it, because a lot of devs and corps see “something something GPL” and just shut down.
That's where dual-licensing comes in like Artifex' AGPL + commercial licensing. But yes, most large Tech companies have a blanket ban on AGPL.

Exactly, which is why all these companies that claim they can't survive without their shiny new I-can't-believe-it's-not-open-source licenses deserve all the scorn they get. I've flipped the bozo switch on Hashicorp.
