That is not true and really not worth re-litigating here.

NN regulations played no role whatsoever in the resolution of that conflict - a business arrangement was reached, just as it was in the SK Telecom example recently: https://about.netflix.com/en/news/sk-telecom-sk-broadband-and-netflix-establish-strategic-partnership-to

That's simply not true. As someone running an L4S field trial right now - we want the technology to get the widest possible deployment and be fully end-to-end. Why else would there be so much effort to ensure that ECN and DSCP marks can traverse network domain boundaries for example? Why else would there be strong app developer interest? What evidence do you have to show that anyone working on L4S want to create a walled garden? If anything, it seems the opposite of 5G network slicing, which seems to me personally to be another 3GPP run at walled garden stuff (like IMS). Ultimately it is like a lot of other IETF work -- it is an interesting technology and we'll have to see whether it gets good adoption - the 'market' will decide.

Also not correct. And last time I checked the balance sheets of companies in these sectors - video streaming services were losing money while provision of internet services were financially healthy.

I think this stuff degrades into conspiracy theory often enough.  While I
don't discount the possibility of collusion, I don't give these
people/groups credit enough to pull of a mass scale conspiracy either....
If netflix is jammed down to small of a pipe at an ISP, that's more likely
(IMO...) disorganization or incompetence or disinterest over conspiracy.
 I feel the same about government in general...
