An obvious solution to me would be hiking grid connection fees to the point where that part of the business doesn't operate at a loss, then.

I would wager that the vast majority of people are still going to need/want the connection.

At which point you are paying a subscription fee to maintain the infrastructure which will quickly eat up much of the value of decentralization. But yeah, they probably will have to move to that model and disconnect generation from delivery in the same entity.
