That's not his point as I understand it. If the GPL were like the AGPL in that regard, it would mean that if you allowed other people to use your software - for example, if you run an internet cafe - you would be forced to provide the source code to those visitors, even though you didn't give them a copy of the software. The choice of whether or not to give someone a copy of free software was always inherent in the GPL, the AGPL removes that choice to some extent.
