How can they distinguish personal vs pro servers? They have to inspect the contents, which to me seems related to net neutrality.
The comparison should rather be "Do you get upset at buffets when they don't let you have the main dish after dessert?" They use content inspection to increase their revenue.
I do get upset if the commercial say "up to 20 different kind of food, and all-you-can-eat", but during lunch rush it is just a couple of carrots that looks half moldy.
One aspect of net neutrality is advertizement laws and clear communication between the commercial entity and the consumer. A restaurant can't just say that "its up to!" and give you a carrot when you paid $50 for a buffet, complaining that their capacity to make food is full.
If the network connection Google want to sell has direct limitation to them, Google should be legally bound to make sure the consumer is aware before a contract is signed. That is normally a basic consumer protection law in most markets, and the ISP market is just lagging behind.
Its not enough that you change the fine print in a 20 page long legal contract. A restaurant could easy require you to agree to an customer agreement on the point of booking a table. It would still not allow them to book 50 people and make food for 10, arguing that their capacity to make food is full. Even if the customer agreement said that the restaurant is only responsible to supply food "up to" all-you-can-eat. The police would classify such scheme as a scam.

Is something like a 5 to 1 over booking happening with google fiber? Overbooking is common practice with airlines and many business that have solid statistics that tell them how safe it is to overbook. It is not normally considered, when done in a reasonable manner, a scam to do so either.
Forbidding servers on their network is a completely rational stance for them to take.
Do you also get upset at "all-you-can-eat" buffets when they don't let you fill a barrel full of food to take home and eat later?
