Capitalism prevailed during the rise of the internet but correlation is not causation.
Rockets were sent into space and capitalists would surely love to claim that achievement too, unfortunately it was first fascists followed by communists with the capitalists getting the bronze medal. Should we now decide that space flight is fascist-communist? No. Only scientists and engineers know how to do that. Why didn't Genghis Khan invent the internet? He didn't have enough capitalists, surely that was the problem.
You can keep the wool over your eyes and defend your claim blindly. It doesn’t really matter. Unbiased historians will record what happened as it is, at the very least. If you can’t distinguish between invention and distribution, that’s your problem, I suppose.
