So you had a right taken away and replaced with the “benevolence” of corporations and you’re happy with this? You gained nothing, you only lost things.

  Speaking as someone who use to work for R&D within the industry (in the resource allocation space), the OIO (the name for the FCC's implementation of net neutrality) injected a significant amount of regulatory uncertainty into our work resulting in dried up funding from certain sources. The rules themselves were expansive and went well beyond the existing status quo in a number of different ways. As an example, the OIO had lots of carve-outs for what they termed "specialized services" in the text; however, what would be considered a specialized service in the future was ambiguous as the definition wasn't governed by any principled approach. Some of my colleagues more familiar with regulatory policy said it would be a minimum of 10 years before we even began to get a clearer picture of how the rules would work in practice. To give a concrete example, we're essentially in year 6 of Net Neutrality in the EU and we still have no clear guidance on how certain important aspects of 5G (such as network slicing) will interact with it.
