For the vast majority of people, the internet is the web, as well as mobile apps. The latter are already out of the control of users. Today, we at least have browsers that we can mostly force to do what we want (like stop downloading and displaying ads), but WEI will end up restricting portions of the web to users running browsers that do what the web servers want, not what their users want.

And for most people in the world, that is "the internet".
