Where on earth did you get the crazy idea that the Internet was created by
a bureaucracy!?!?!?

Let's begin at the beginning, shall we. The U.S. government funds the US
military who funded an agency called DARPA and far from the madding
bureaucracy some folks working under DARPA research grants created a
protocol called TCP/IP. But that was not the Internet! The Internet came
later when thousands of ordinary people took this public domain protocol
and used it to implement networking at their organization and then
interconnected those networks so that they could communicate with each
other. Not a bureaucrat in sight, thank God.
