The news feed is certainly driven by algorithmic discovery.
But the standard user page, or user account, for any of these, is usually not.
So, for example, a reasonable compromise would to apply common carrier laws to the places where it is possible. IE, allow people to have the user page.

Disagree. There is still value in having that youtube user page for someone with existing audiences, even if they do not have youtube discovery.
Furthermore, even if youtube refuses to do discovery for these pages, it would still be possible for 3rd parties to do discovery. Imagine if you could subscribe to a different discovery website that just takes information from youtube pages.
That would be interesting to drive competition in discovery algorithms and give people choice over that.
