Here is my line of thought.

Some time ago the FSF discovered that software users could loose their freedom when doing their computing in others people's computers. To protect users, the FSF released the AGPL, whose only difference with the GPL is the following (quoting from https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-aferro-gpl.html):

If you run a modified program on a server and let other users communicate with it there, your server must allow them to download the source code corresponding to the modified version running there.

Why isn't that clause in the GPL?
