With a key difference:

"Your freedom of speech does not require me or your ISP to carry, propagate, or amplify your speech, whether for free or for pay."

Start to see the problem here, yet?

No problem. ISPs have as much of a right to voluntary association as you, me, or Mailchimp.

They actually don't. They are forbidden from acting with other ips in regards to aliging prices/services.

Plus they have common carrier status meaning they cannot offer/not offer service based on the content they carry for you. They must remain neutral.

You don't have to be. Neither does mailchimp.

I am certainly also subject to anti-collusion legislation.

Not since 2017.

I would agree normally, but what ISP is not taking public money to hopefully expand their network.
