I propose that water companies don't have to promote your ability to speak either by selling you water. You can collect rainwater provided by nature just fine. Same with gas stations and transport: You're not owed free reach, people back in the day just walked where they wanted to get to. Cars, electricity and running water are just modern conveniences.

This is a poor metaphor. Water companies provide something essential for life and are de facto gov't entities. It's unclear if your objective was to change people's minds, or just to mock OP with a shallow dismissal, but either way it's a weak argument unless you establish why these comparisons are valid.
