Those ISPs can only fight this “burden” by taking advantage of their unfair monopoly. If there was an actual free market competition there would be no need for net neutrality in the first place.

BOB could just switch to using DAVE’s ISP service, who would be happy to connect him with CAROL’s AN without any throttling.

Its not the ISP fault if they are the monopoly.

Wouldn’t you agree those ISPs are very well compensated for this “burden” by not having to compete?

IT is their fault when they block competition in the marketplace and try anything they can to prevent cities to open up the market to competition.

[matz1]

Its in their best interest to block/prevent competition.

Just because an action is in their best interest does not absolve them from the fault of that action. Arguably, one can usually safely assume the opposite.
