I would love that vision to become reality but what Cloudflare is doing is unfortunately necessary atm.

Ok, I'll bite. Why is turning the Internet into a walled garden necessary now?

Multi-Tbps DDoS attacks, pervasive scanning of sites for exploits, comically expensive egress bandwidth on services like AWS, and ISPs disallowing hosting services on residential accounts.

Start forcing tighter security on the devices causing the Multi-Tbps DDoS attacks would be a better option, no? Cheap unsecured IoT devices are a problem.

It's not just computers anymore. Web enabled CCTV, doorbell cameras are all culprits.

And home routers, printers, and end user devices themselves. Residential ISP networks can be infiltrated and remote CVE'd through browser calls at this point from a remote website. It's not even hard.
