I assumed we were talking about hosting from home, since hosting at some datacenter would again be dealing with additional private entities.

I guess that would be an alternative. So either non-discriminatory treatment from hosters or non-discriminatory treatment from ISPs + DNS registrars.

Hosting (anything) from home is against the TOS of almost all providers.

It may be on a consumer account, but you can get a business account at a residential address from most providers; and in many cases you need to to get the balance of upstream to downstream to you'd want for hosting, even leaving aside ToS concerns.
Not on the hosting side.

Yes, but they're not. DNS is a nice-to-have, not a must. Hosting is a must, if you want to make a case then you are going to have an uphill battle where a hosting provider would have to supply and and all paying customers.
