As best I understand that is the main thrust of the Net Neutrality argument. Everything else you described seems to be superfluous to the issue.

That is because you've been mislead. With regard to laws that say "the internet shall be neutral" there is literally no difference between a situation where you have a base latency of X and they add on a special low latency connection to a particular video server such that your latency to that particular server is now Y instead of X, and a situation where you have a base latency of Y and they degrade your performance other than to that video server such that your base latency becomes X and your latency to that video server becomes Y. Net Neutrality laws would ban both situations, and the later is extremely unlikely to occur in practice. It is literally a law that prohibits ISPs from setting up leased circuits or SLAed channels to particular servers.
