It is interesting how this change (of balance from object design to
architecture?) could result in great political tensions. Wouldn't it
transform every adaptative use in a kind of negotiation with public
parameters? And what happens if the ‘user’ doesn’t have the authority
to affect such parameters? What are the risks of implementing a sort
of DNS/IP control in-real-life? And who would be capable of such
standardization?

Could you give some examples of possible "user arguments" with (or
against) infrastructure, protocol, spectrum and grid?
