GPL doesn’t give your users any benefits, only headaches. It does benefit your user’s users, and yourself.
But I get what you’re writing. While I agree GPL is better, I don’t agree it’s more free. Enforced freedom can’t be more free than absolute freedom. Purely from a philosophical standpoint.
I’m of the opinion that a cookie on your desk takes more willpower to resist eating rather it being in a locked box in the kitchen. I consider even devs with good intentions to not have perfect resistance to temptation at all times, and so being legally compelled to not deny users software freedom via AGPL is a benefit to my users as it helps them resist any temptation 😇
