Nothing wrong? Does minio grant the basic freedoms of being able to run the software, study it, change it, and distribute it?
Did minio create the impression to its contributors that it will continue being FLOSS?

Yes the software is under AGPL. Go forth and forkify.
The choice of AGPL tells you that they wanted to be the only commercial source of the software from the beginning.

No, what was minio is now aistor, a closed-source proprietary software. Tell me how to fork it and I will.

The choice of AGPL tells me nothing more than what is stated in the license. And I definitely don't intend to close the source of any of my AGPL-licensed projects.

The fact that new versions aren't available does nothing to stop you from forking versions that are. Or were - they'll be available somewhere, especially if it got packaged for OS distribution.

If a commercial company has "core" version under AGPL, it usually means their free version is an extended demo of the commercial product.
So fork the last minio, and work from there... nobody is stopping you.
