What would charities have to pay? If you’re non-commercial why would you balk at releasing your modifications?

It's not modifications, it's your entire application. AGPL doesn't have the linking exception.

Using an APGL library means I have to open source my account management code, or my data anonymisation system, etc.

Of course I'm perfectly happy to open source modifications, but that's not AGPL, that's LGPL (or ALGPL I guess?)
