no.  those days passed in the last century.  you just don't know them.
but then, you are not an operator so no surprise.

what you are seeing, and creating massive noise around, is a business
war between the last mile cartel and the content they envy and want
to supplant or at least bleed.  transit, peering, caching, etc. are
just business and technical tools being used in that war.  keep eye on
doughnut, not the hole.
