What abuses have occurred since 2020?
The only violation I currently experience is that T-mobile gives me a free Netflix subscription and free wifi on flights. Both benefit me without hurting others. And both would be allowed under the previous regulation, since it largely exempted cellular service.
At home I regularly use unsavory services like Bittorrent without throttling. (And so much of traffic is now encrypted and served from a small number of CDNs, the ability of ISPs to shape traffic has been dramatically reduced.)

Pointing to lasting effects from previous net neutrality violations as evidence that neutrality regulations are unnecessary doesn't seem like a very strong argument to me. Or do you have an explanation for the dearth of p2p traffic (especially for voice and video conferencing) that isn't rooted in ISPs providing only a very locked-down "internet" service that barely permits anything other than www?
