Well yeah, but what’s the downside?

If you have any MIT licensed libraries, it isn't compatible. Nor are the LGPL, BSD, or Apache licenses. So, there are a lot of downsides to accidentally using this license.

Not sure about MIT, but it’s not true for anything else: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#GPLCompati...

That's true for the GPL -- we are talking about the _A_GPL. Furthermore, on that page, it even says the Affero GPL IS NOT compatible with GPLv3.
