There have been people making these arguments both for and against for a very long time. Even as an example, on this very site:

I think you'll quickly lean in the opposing view after reviewing those viewpoints, because if Twitter was a utility it would have been declared one at some point in the previous 11 years.

My point is that websites are fundamentally different from resources you extract from the environment and the eagerness by some to treat them as such is specious.
