It got where it went by doing the opposite of what you're suggesting. The walled garden for smart elites were mostly working on OSI from what old timers tell me. The TCP/IP, SMTP, etc involved lots of hackers trying to avoid doing too much work. Much like the users you prefer to filter. Then, it just went from there getting bigger and bigger due to low barrier of entry. Tons of economic benefits and business models followed. Now we're talking to each other on it.

For this tbing I don't care about those problems.
The early web was devoid of average users. Then the flow of newcomers and not knowing better users surpassed the old timers and knowledgeable users.
Then we entered a leveling downward race to a web tailored to their needs because they're the large majority.
