It’s a risk most companies don’t want to chance.

I mean GitHub was literally built off of Git (GPL) and they had zero issues being acquired for $7.5billion.

Massive difference exist between GPLv2 (Git) vs AGPLv3 (Twenty).

You're comparing apples and oranges.

Google documents well why they forbid AGPL https://opensource.google/documentation/reference/using/agpl...

I don't think that's fair, Google is a monopoly with anticompetitive practices. Why is it a shocker that they would forbid AGPL? They want to have their fiefdoms while charging exorbitant rents. They can't compete fairly.

Also there are plenty of profitable software with AGPL licenses, some even get acquired by public companies [1].
