Yes: "why the heck are we centralizing the web to 2 or 3 infrastructure companies". Its a systemic asset, unregulated, in a world where every systemic asset is regulated (eg. utilities, transportation infrastructure, etc.).

If you want other infrastructure companies or decentralized internet, you are free to do that yourself via voluntary means.
