I think they’d ask: In what way is AWS, GAE or Azure restricting your freedom to use free software?
If those companies customize your code and don’t recontribute it, that’s what the AGPL is for.
The SSPL doesn’t actually help with this problem. It removes your freedom to use the software in certain ways. It is a pecuniary license designed to sell you a more permissive license.
