We're talking about something which has become a central piece of the modern internet largely by being perceived as a well governed non-profit organization.

Unreasonable price-hikes undermines that position and seems like a clear violation of the natural monopoly they have obtained through good will so far.

Maybe the internet just needs to learn a lesson or two, once again, about the problems with centralization.
