Well, it can be argued that nobody explicitly put these caveats in place on the

the ones wanting to change this are the last-mile ISPs
And they've got a right to adapt to the changing requirements of the market.
"For decades" no single source was shooting several orders of magnitude more
bandwidth into their network than everyone else combined and refusing to pay
for the privilege.
Acutally, I'll bet that there have always been some sources that have generated
far more traffic than others.
But even if it's true, I still fail to see why they should have to pay every ISP
in the world to carry their traffic.
If they can't deliver the advertised bandwidth to their customers at the prices
they are charging their customers, then they shouldn't advertise those rates at
those prices.
