If the first part of your statement is true, then the second part of the statement is resolved by subscribing to the first part of the statement.

If "the set of people/companies that pay extra for the service" are able to have a particular service, and "the set of people/companies that do NOT pay extra for the service" don't get to have that service, why would anyone expect Comcast to just give that service away to "the set of people/companies that do NOT pay extra for the service?"

It would be something you'd have to pay extra for. I'm guessing it would be a LOT more expensive than just the typical low-end basic or premier cable service y'all are paying for now. If you don't want to pay extra for the switch option, then you can't have the switch option.

I'm not seeing the problem here.
