I don't care at all about average users, this network would be an alternative on top of what we have and can be as elitist as the small user group wants. The difficult part is having the power to sue organizations who violate the EULA (a social and financial problem) and getting a decentralized banning system to work (a very tricky technical, distributed social choice problem).

We already have a few options in that domain. ipfs, onion sites (Tor).

And to repeat my earlier point, an EULA isn’t going to keep your vision clean. Malicious actors aren’t going to give a hoot about any EULA. And any business that might take an EULA seriously would simply choose not to use such a minority platform anyway.

Also if this “EULA” is targeting how companies use your platform, then it’s not an EULA. What you’re talking about is a different type of contractual agreement.
