Of course most people don't want to abandon the internet or it's infrastructure/sub technology.
People who hate the internet usually hate that it's been opened to unfettered capitalism. (I suppose there is a subset of people on the right who would deny that diagnosis but instead mention results of late stage capitalism, "tiktok as an addiction, porn as a commodity, data sold to China" or similar.)
If laws could be passed to protect consumers, small businesses, sex workers etc, then I think the internet could be improved. Instead, we can barely get anti trust action against the big boys we hate being forced to deal with.
