Yes, did you?

Why should any utility put a demand meter on anyone pulling
only 2000 kwh per month?

They certainly didn't. Why do you insist they did?

This electricity provider (National Grid) serves close to 4 million
customers across 29,000 square miles of Massachesetts, New Hampshire,
New York and Rhode Island.

This is the link:

And this is what it says:

===========
National Grid installs a demand meter whenever a customer's energy
consumption has exceeded 2000 kilo-watt hours (kWh) per month for four
consecutive months. Once demand billing begins, it does not end until
after the monthly energy consumption has been less than 2,000 kwh for 12
consecutive months. This requirement may not be avoided by temporarily
terminating service. New or existing customers whose connected load
indicates that the energy consumption will exceed 2,000 kwh per month
will have a demand meter installed. The demand charge will be the
hightest average kW measured in a 15 minute interval during the billing
period, but not less than one kw and not less than the demand contracted
for.
=============

Now take your foot out of your mouth and explain why such an agressive
policy is needed for a demand meter for such a paltry energy usage.
