surely once google runs the pipes they'll be incentivized to pay for netflix's traffic on both sides, or maybe we'll just be back to square 1..

It would just give users a reason to go back to their original providers. Furthermore we've already seen the governmental backlash when facebook tried similar in developing nations. *I should clarify when I say "the video space" I mean original AAA content like Netflix is doing. I could be underestimating them but that's a LONG way from their market sweet spot.
