I’m not held hostage by my ISP - I choose one that doesn’t do that. Even if I didn’t trust the last mile, that’s why I can choose to implement a vpn for some or all of my devices on my network so I can bypass a hostile isp.

It might be good for the average technophobic end user to trust google instead of their ISP, but it’s not good for me to trust google over my ISP.

Most users do not have a meaningful choice of ISPs. That was true back in the days of modems, and somewhat true in the days of DSL. It is not true at all in the days of fiber and cable.
