What about all the new technologies like DPI and data analytics coupled with things like SDN and NFV which will easily technically enable any operator to have a very high level of granularity (e.g. application, user, site, device etc.) in controlling access to the network in the name of providing better QOE/S to the customer? These technologies will easily enable operators to enable complex policies which will be difficult to track and can be modified in very flexible manner to adjust to the current workarounds around any NN laws.

Those technologies are expensive and I would hope that it's cheaper for ISPs to add capacity than to use that stuff. Unfortunately this thinking does not apply if ISPs see neutrality as a strategic threat.
