Cloud providers build a proprietary control plane to deploy copies of the program and it could be argued that such code is a modification of the program itself and thus has to be released. That's why they won't touch AGPL code.

AGPL doesn't infect you code unless you don't link with AGPL-licensed one. Control planes rarely do this. That's why Amazon was absolutely OK with MongoDB being under AGPL.
