with any luck this will destroy them and funnel disgruntled users our way, where the servers are too numerous to ever fully take down and many aren't even US based anyways

Unfortunately, I don't think so. Most of the politicians were virtue signaling, asking questions that were impossible and demanding timetables that they weren't going to get anyway. One woman actually had some half decent data prepared, but I don't think anybody else was really taking it seriously.

Now if there was some legislation passed, specifically stuff that wasn't KOSA, that would be something else. KOSA seems prepped to simply destroy free speech on the internet, and it would mostly harm smaller social media networks that don't have lawyers and around-the-clock moderators to police every single comment and post.
