We'll see when AGPL gets tested in court. Until then I suspect legal departments will continue to treat AGPL, and even GPL (because of on prem), as a viral license which could require disclosing all their source.

No we won't see it tested in court? Or legal departments won't consider it a viral license?

The latter. Every large company on the planet uses Linux which is GPL.

GPL is widely used in SAAS because network users of SAAS aren't entitled to source. AGPL is different.
