You joke but it would be great if we could restart the web. No bots, no corps, you have to be a nerd to get in. Maybe some specific protocol where you need a certain modem to access it, to keep other people out…
Maybe this is what the dark web is? I haven’t dabbled.
An iPhone can communicate with other devices over open protocols, which is different from the proposed un-reachability and privileged access to the network.
Ah, I’m not giving a full picture there. Technically you can use layered encryption like tor uses on the clearnet. Tor additionally exposes tor-only services that route exclusively via tor’s onion routing (not just http wrapped inside an encryption onion).
i2p works differently under the hood, but the shared piece is exclusive services, only accessible through a non-standard protocol. That’s how you’d get a different web. Unless we’re talking physical layer stuff.

Elites abandoning a world they judged unworthy in favor of vendor lock-in sounds pretty dark to me
That’s basically Apple users locking themselves in the garden.

Basically. Look up onion routing (tor protocol).
Right I’ve used that but I dont see how that leads to a different net

I thought about i2p, too. But what do we use it for? Torrents!
