I think it's also about permission-free innovation, and maintaining a software and Internet ecosystem that allows that.
If we allow the Internet to become too centralized, ISPs and major cloud providers will have a large incentive to join forces or even consolidate. If you follow this trend the end-game could be an Internet that's like iOS: only whitelisted traffic is allowed, every link and protocol has to be approved, etc.
Then all innovation will stop because only huge players will be able to do anything new.
