Doesn't the fact that nobody has built apps on it indicate the license (AGPL 3) is a real issue for its ecosystem?

Isn't the lack of an SDK the problem, not the LICENSE?

I'm not seeing how you could draw that conclusion. The more likely explanation is that they are telling people not to build apps around it (and I assume thus the apis aren't well designed for adoption by other apps).
