This is more likely a response to the recent reversal of FCC privacy rules.

This may not defend against state actors, but will against nosy ISPs.

Backbone providers provide services to businesses. If one of them was caught monitoring traffic, their reputation would be destroyed.

That's why they go the extra length not to be caught. Even if they wanted to alert a user that he's monitored, wouldn't national security letter come with a gag order forbidding this ?

We're talking ISPs here, not state actors. If an individual catches the full attention of the NSA, there's not all that much they can do to defend their privacy.
