Also, I don't really see how such a license enforces collaboration; the
license gives you the right to examine, modify and distribute your
changes, but it doesn't take away any rights you would have if the
license had not been granted.

If you don't like the terms, just examine, modify and distribute some
other software - neither the GPL nor the AGPL forces anybody to share
anything.
