It really doesn’t, those services don’t produce terabytes of daily traffic that needs congestion management.
Don’t just make things up. The idea of Network Neutrality is clearly defined, and doesn’t involve viewpoint.
Here's some of those clear definitions
Cambridge Dictionary: "Net neutrality is the idea that Internet providers must treat all content equally."
Brittanica: "net neutrality, principle that Internet service providers (ISPs) should not discriminate among providers of content."
"Traffic congestion" is the reasoning ISPs use to defend subverting net neutrality, but it still results in certain viewpoints being favored over others. If Spectrum decides to throttle Fox News and not CNN, it doesn't matter if their reasoning is that Fox News uses more bandwidth, the result is still that the viewpoint that Fox espouses is throttled while that of CNN is not. Sure it's conjecture that is or will happen, but it is the case that the doctrine of net neutrality is what is standing in opposition to it.
