If everyone wants their networks hobbled by shitty software routing,  
sure.  There are plenty who stack their "wireless extension" LAN-WAN  
(creating double NAT) because they simply don't know jack about networking.

There are over 100 million "home networks" in the country that are  
literally 100% out-of-the-box defaults. It comes out of the box, the color  
coded cables are connected to the color coded ports according to the Ikea  
pictorial diagram. And it better Just Work(tm), because they will never  
understand to configure any part of it -- doubly so for the *networking*.  
We are years (DECADES) from a multi-network default. Hell, it's been 20  
years and IPv6 is still not more a foot off the ground. (plus, it's been  
rewritten a dozen times.)
