@johns Not being familiar with names, it hard to say if this is someone using the weight of Google to push their personal views on licensing (I use my GNU affiliation to push my personal views on licensing too ;)), or if it's coming from Google. Or if the distinction is even relevant.
But the way this is phrased does indeed rub me the wrong way, moreso than advocating against the AGPL usually does, that is. Pretty slimy.
