There are definitely aspects of FSF that deserve criticism, but I don’t think their approved licenses is one of them. Licenses approved by both OSI and FSF are the ones people should be using.
Relevant Open Source SE question about “crayon licenses” for the curious.

Yeah, personally I think the copyleft the GPL grants is really powerful and it’s the only license that gets used in my projects.

Same here, unless I’m making something truly trivial. Even half baked POCs I know I won’t finish or go anywhere I slap AGPL on.
