I would argue the lack of internet over ham radio is more about technical limitations and less about regulation. The only practical transport frequencies are in the VHF/UHF range and those rely on line of sight. Even if you did put some kind of access point on top of a tall tower you are limited to 1200 baud on 2m, 9600 baud on 70cm (which is what most radios support). That is barely enough bandwidth to load simple static HTTP pages, add the overhead of encryption and it is completely impractical. Hams have access to bands higher than 70cm, and some look technically promising for an implementation of internet over radio - but the lack of equipment manufactured for those bands make it a challenge to get off the ground.
