Just don't upgrade or don't modify the sourcecode.

See my first sentence. Can't not do something if you don't know the license changed.

its your responsibility to know that it has changed when you upgrade.

Not an issue. If you modify the source you'll notice if you try to keep upstream. If not (as in you don't modify) then it doesn't matter anyway.

I've seen companies automatically patch software (there was a CI pipeline that would clone upstream, automatically apply a patch file, and ship the result), so it's certainly possible to pull+patch without looking at specific changes, let alone watching for a relicense.

Sounds like a leftpad disaster.

Many companies have outright internal bans on AGPL or contractual bans imposed by their clients.

And? What's the point? That companies can be stupid?

If you don't upgrade literally nothing will change. If you have upgraded and noticed the license change - downgrade. Or just use it anyway, if the value of Minio is worth it.

And if you upgrade and don't notice the change?

Then no one else will either and you most likely haven't modified the source (as that would make you notice the changes) so you are fine too.
