The number of hops still isn't related to net neutrality any more so than buying servers in a particular country can reduce the number of hops to a given ISP.

By decreasing the number of hops you are speeding up the connection (maybe not, but let's say so for simplicity). His point then is that net neutrality has always been a fuzzy concept. Because even now you can boost your speed by spending a lot of dollars, for example buying servers as you point out. I won't comment if its a realistic comparison, but I definitely found it an interesting pov: food for thoughts. :)
