The internet I think is critical nowadays, and therefore I'd like to see a part of it open, or having open alternatives. Email, for one, is still in a fine place, considering the myriad of proprietary and closed services.
It's technically true what you write, that we can live life without the Internet. But we can live life in a million other sucky ways too, and that doesn't mean that we should. I find it arbitrary how people draw the line, and they are fun to argue, but no amount of good reasons make the line not arbitrary. Abuse has a long history and the older ways of living had their share too.
