The AGPL does not enforce the publishing of the source code when used
server side.
Github blog: What’s up with these new not-open source licenses?
https://github.blog/2021-03-18-whats-up-with-these-new-not-open-source-licenses/
is mentioning:
In response to this pressure, many open-core or dual-license
companies, including Confluent, MongoDB, Cockroach Labs, Redis Labs,
Timescale, and Graylog moved away from OSI-approved licenses to
licenses that are not ‘open source.’ These new ‘source available’
licenses contain restrictions to prevent cloud infrastructure
providers from building a service out of their code.
Example is MongoDB changing from AGPL to SSPL or Server Side Public
License and enforcing the source code to be available rather than just
a prominent offer as in the AGPL, as enforcement is difficult,
requires expensive litigations.

Maybe it is the time to update the AGPL to enforce the source to be
available when program is served server side?
