> Everything on the Internet (including Internet itself) degenerated from federation into monopolistic centralized services for a reason, and somehow people keep ignoring the evidence, and just keep trying harder.

Yes, it happened for a reason - the old Bell last-mile monopoly and active government measures to quash it.
