I’ll provide my perspective from a very strong advocate of FOSS and GPL specifically.
Most code I write I release under GPL because I want companies to think twice before attempting to profit off of my code. AGPL specifically requires companies to release any modifications if they are publicly released.
I will occasionally release some code under MIT because the code is so simple and stupid, I don’t care enough if people lift it. A few spreadsheet formulas fall into this category or a dockerfile that has maybe 4 lines in it.

Agpl I believe is similar to gpl but includes server sided code. Correct me if I’m wrong

That still doesn’t answer the question, why does anyone choose anything other than GPL? I’m having a hard time expressing my question the way it is reading my head. Damn you, English.
