Depending on where you live, a lot of times you don’t many to choose from. Maybe 2-3, but sometimes only one with fast enough speeds that it becomes the only option.

Where?
Cellphone providers + Starlink mean there’s more than 3 options in basically every US home.
Even in places without those, there are a ton of little hamlets in BFE around me that have one guy that gets fiber from wherever is cheapest, then runs a point-to-point directional antenna relay system to a home-brew ISP.
We're talking about participating in society not Netflix. There are a lot more options for that, including mobile and even good old dial up.
So they are effectively utilities and must be regulated accordingly.
