Even in Switzerland there were attempts of not building out AON. Swisscom was hoping they can get away with just having XGS-PON all the way to the customer and the other ISPs were also in favor of that (other than init7 which does not actually lay any fiber). The cost of P2P is pretty significant.

~CHF 65 more per connection is the cost difference that was calculated. For a de-facto future proof connection that should be considered insignificant.

Swisscom pissed away millions of tax payer money after the government ordered an injunction to stop building out on the P2MP network. All they did was continue but just not connect those lines hoping they would win the court cause.
