That's because NN is a proxy for what most people really want, which is competition among ISPs. If we had a choice of several good broadband providers, we wouldn't need regulation, we would expect competition among them to protect consumers' needs.
Since we don't, we need some kind of regulation to keep ISPs from abusing their monopoly status. In general, "pro net neutrality" means you think the regulations should be abundant and strict (like they are with water and power utilities) and "anti net neutrality" means you think they should be light and weak (like they are with, say, cable TV). Disagreement within those camps on specifics does not mean that there are not, broadly, two camps.
