What's "artificial" shaping? The average consumer ISP has an over subscription ratio of 70-to-1. Unless you want to pay 70x as much for your "100mbit" connection, there are going to be times when packets get dropped. Isn't it better to drop packets fairly among subscribers? No shaping would result in whoever is using the most dominating everyone else. This basic principle is still neutral; you don't have to shape based on destination / content provider.
