1 assumes that some "private entity" gets to decide what is crucial infrastructure and what is not, what gets the opportunity to be patched and what doesn't.
I'm not ok with that and don't know why anyone would be.
Because it's their property. Now you can try to make an argument that it's stolen IP and that matters in some way, but that's just more likely to ensure no one has access.
Even more so they are getting push back from the government (good job electing idiots) that said models are a security risks.
But until then the company can charge/give access to whoever they want for however much they want except in the cases the law says no.
And if you don't like it raise a trillion dollars and make your own.

The knowledge of the world is their property? Or is it the model weights? Or is it the natural resources they are subsuming by buying politicians and political power and leaving residents with high bills (while securing cheap energy costs for themselves). Perhaps it's the equipment they lease causing drastic price spikes in RAM and GPU's for everyday normal people.

Yes to both. That is how free markets work and also why people object to free markets.
The owner of a thing deciding to whom they wish to provide access to the thing they own, is a necessary consequence of the concept of private property.
The only two alternative to a private entity making this decision are a government making this decision, or nobody making this decision, the latter of which is equivalent to both government and a private entity making the decision to do (1).
Consortium are entities, and the CEOs of Anthropic and OpenAI at least are openly begging for feedback with all their efforts to handle this, openly asking everyone else to figure out what the rules ought to be. Even if you think that too is a cynical ploy, they're asking.
