Can you clarify who you are referring to as the do-gooders here? Everyone who is asking for net neutrality?
And is the common people the group who is the victim of the poisoned chalice?

I'm more concerned about app neutrality. Apple is extorting 30% from app makers and enforces rules to ensure their dominance over my phone.
Net neutrality is (partial) remedy for lack of competition. Cure that and a lot of the reasons for net neutrality disappear. However, it is not realistic to expect true competition in the US telecoms market anytime soon.
One reason a lot of people see net neutrality as a solution in search of a problem is that net neutrality was the default before and it hasn't been egregiously abused to date. I'm sure a lot of people will agree it's a problem once they get some first hand experience of it.
> Hypothetically, ISPs could try extorting and controlling the entire internet, but realistically it's not going to work.
I don't know. Comcast seems to be doing a pretty good job at it in the US.

You do know you can sideload apps on your phone?
Yes, I know it's not ideal, but at least it's possible.
