It's just that we don't have the right technology to enable such granular decision making at micro-level. Today businesses argue they are forced to serve multiple megabytes of extra stuff no one REALLY cares (all those trackers, etc) because anyone can just go to their site and pull "their proprietary bits". I think this is pretty dystopian already.
