Because whoever buys it won’t also control search.

A connection to the internet should be basically a dumb pipe, not filtering, accelerating, or slowing down anything.
However . . .
An ISP should be able to have a side-pipe to a specific service that provides for unregulated access to something thru that pipe.
For instance you might watch Netflix all the time and want to pay a couple bucks for a side-pipe access to Netflix at a consistent throughput. Or maybe you work in finance and want access to Bloomberg, or Fidelity.
Or maybe you work remotely and would love to access your Microsoft email and SharePoint with higher upstream throughput.
Or maybe you’re a gamer and want a lower latency link to your game.
Why can’t you have that?

More specifically, my two 32" 4K monitors are plugged into the wall, and then both have USBC cables into each side of my 16" MBP (2019). I keep my MBP power cable in my suitcase for when I travel.
I love the setup - only two cables on my desk, and there is a nice symmetry about it.
