The scary part is this whole thing right here is very much about preventing the last part of your post.. Or at the very least asserting dominion over what a newly re-decentralized net would permit. (i.e. a decentralized system forcing the same rules and standards as now) I mean look at how cries of "disinformation" and "hate" are treated already. Look at what the owner of KF was willing to do to keep the site up.. creating his own internet infrastructure. And look how this is turning out. people literally melting down because an infrastructure company won't leave the site open to criminal (DDoS) attacks. A few hundred people are all that it takes to create a shit storm that leads to enforcement of their standards on the rest of society.
