They changed their license to AGPL, removed features (Web UI, etc.) and now they don't provide docker images/binaries. It's their project but; what's next?
Obviously they will eventually no longer license AGPL at all. It's wild to me how this can be a surprise to anyone, this entire company has been one gigantic red flag for years and that's just what's publicly known. It's a legal department with a software product as a side business.
Do we need a fork? As an example, ffmpeg is source only for mac and windows, which just means someone else is building and distributing binaries.

Removing existing Docker images? Seems unlikely.

What for? The code hasn't changed, it's AGPL-3.0. They just don't release their own binaries or docker images anymore.
There is perhaps a need for a fork because of their recent removal of features (unrelated to today's post): https://github.com/minio/minio/issues/21584
Demanding people do free work for you, like starting a fork on your expedited schedule is quite juvenile.
Forks take time and effort from humans to maintain.
Where did you see a demand? The comment you're replying to merely asked if there is a fork.
The inclusion of the word “already” suggests that someone should have put forth effort to fork this project by now.
That’s where I interpreted this as a demand.
