The problem is more accentuated outside of the US (in my belief). For instance, I can understand that the global players don't want to offer global routes to you if you want to peer with them at Stockholm DGIX, but this situation also means that if you buy bandwidth from a Tier 1 you get (often) lousy connectivity to local sites, sometimes routes go even transatlantic even if both sites are local but at different providers. Very inefficient. If Tier 1 providers would do more local peerings with local routes this problem would be much leviated. For instance, if I peer with UUNET in Stockholm I could get only UUNET Swedish customers from them.
UUnet is especially "evil" in this respect, here in Denmark, UUnet is a relative small provider, but targets end users heavily, and thus wants to peer with the larger providers here, so their end users gets fast connectivity to domestic sites. But they only advertise their danish networks, and doesn't propagate our routes into the rest of AS702. On the other hand, in countries where UUnet is the big player, like in the UK, they refuse to peer - very inconsistent ...
