> Complete nonsense. "Net neutrality" means that there is no preferential treatment of packets based on origin or destination.

Categorically false. There’s no “net neutrality” legislation enacted or proposed that doesn’t have giant and vague QoS and general network operations carve-outs.

The EFF was fairly happy with the FCC's Title II proposal back in 2015:

In 2018 Markey and others proposed simply overturning Pai/Trump's overtuning of Title II.

I don't know precisely what you're referring to ... the closest I could find was the EFF's objections to the FCC proposals from 2011 which had things like "vague QoS and general network operation carve outs":

The EFF seemed much happier with the FCC proposals 4 years later.

What am I missing?

What does the EFF's happiness have to do with anything?

I consider them one of the most on-point organizations in the fight for actual net neutrality.
