First, it's not an issue of "competing with" unless they start their own ISPs or, in the case of Google, restart development on their ISP. Water doesn't compete with the pipe. It just hopes the pipe decides not to squeeze.

Second, I doubt many people are crying over Google, Amazon, or someone like Facebook. They already are working on walled gardens and are happy to pay to eliminate competition. They actually don't rely on a healthy (in the sense of open, competitive, or free) internet at all. Small startups and free speech on the other hand does.
