The only time traffic shaping is a problem is when ISP's begin throttling competitors for no reason. But drafting regulations for this can result in unintended consequences.
And the FCC's rules were very vague and basically used as a weapon by Netflix against ISP's... even though Netflix afaict has a history of trying to get peering deals when the reality is they should be buying transit because no peering deal with Netflix can be equitable.

Any regulations to prohibit such throttling need careful drafting, and a regulatory body that isn't bought and sold by industry.
