Especially when the Internet Service Providers (excuse me, online
content providers) can do workarounds cheaper that preserve "their" idea
of us as content consumers instead of nodes participating in an
internetwork.

In 20 years, we could either see widespread adoption of IPv6 and a new
generation of network, or ISPs throwing carrier grade NAT everywhere,
locking down the ability of consumers to self-publish content
and self-host (Because, "Liabilities") and charging a premium for the
same IPV4 address that they used to "give away" for free.

Enshittify the internet then charge extra for the solution, that seems
to be a pattern.
