If a majority of customers wouldn't even care if this happened, then why is it the internet doomsday? Seems like you can't have both sides of the argument. Unless I'm missing your point.

This isn't something as basic as "the right to bear arms." There's a lot of information and this is a fairly dull subject, so the ISPs rely on that to gain support for this.

So you can have net neutrality be removed, and nobody care that it was removed, but still be in a much worse position than before.

Similarly, the PATRIOT act was passed, and "nobody" cared. That doesn't mean that nothing changed.
