It seems they might be psychos, they are misrepresenting what AGPL allows all over their issue tracker, for example this: https://github.com/minio/minio/issues/12829#issuecomment-889...

> Also NOTE: I need to remind you are under AGPLv3 violation here if you are using MinIO with proprietary purposes. Please consult a software lawyer for more information.

Or this: https://github.com/minio/minio/issues/13308#issuecomment-929...

> Also, just want to mention that the AGPL license requires that all software connecting with MinIO be 100% open source for you/your users not to be in violation of the license.

All that AGPL actually requires is that you share the source of your server, if you modify it.

So they would consider my Arq backups to MinIO a license violation? What if I access the GUI from a Windows PC? What about a Linux PC with a proprietary GPU driver?

    Under the MinIO interpretation if you browse the web interface with Microsoft Edge you need to open source your browser.
