    Perhaps, following your line of logic, the one exception to this might
    be a SaaS provider that does not own the copyright to the software
    they are providing as a service and that software has been released
    under the aGPL.

That makes no difference to the ethics of the service.  Even if the
programs are released as free software in whichever way you like, the
users of the service have no control over what that server does.

So, if the server does a job that the users ought to have control
over, something that the users could do on their own computers, the
server is bad.

If the server does some other job, maybe it is ok.
