[Avodah] Gezeira Against Cloth Sukkos?

AhS Yomi recently hit OC 630:32, in hilkhos Sukkah.

If I understand correctly, and given how far this is from common practice,
I likely don't, the Tur assumes there is a gezeira in the gemara against
using cloth for Sukkah walls even if they are tied down. Because too
many don't stay tied.

And not only does the AhS explicitly include a well-bound cloth wall,
he says that one can rely on the Taz for a single cloth wall only
"bemaqom tzorekh".

So, would the AhS have a problem with the ubiquitous canvas Sukkah? If
not, why not?

I was thinking that maybe this was leshitaso with chalav Yisrael; maybe
his derekh is to be quite strict on gezeiros even / especially when it
looks like batlah taam.

An enlightening and enjoyable Chanukah!
