This does not follow, and again services such as DNS are perfect examples.
It's in any ISP's interest to provide DNS which is both fast and free in
order to compete with other ISPs (whether there are a sufficient number of
ISPs in various locales to support effective competition is another
question, much more worthy of our time, by the way.) The same is true with
any zero-rated service. If an ISP offers fast and free WP0, it will have an
advantage over competitors relegating it to slow and free.

To whom to I appeal my moderation on this list?
