This whole problem smacks to me of exchange points that are "too big to fail".  Since some of these exchanges are so

You forgot to add "and would break down on a weekly basis".

The restrictions that IXPs impose on their customers have nothing to do with
the size of their peering LAN, but everything with offering a reliable service
to these same customers.

Kind regards,
Martin
