Is it easier to scale N routers, or scale 10000*N hosts? If we simply moved to an "everyone with an ASN gets a /32" model, we'd have about 30,000 /32s. It would be a really long time before we had as many routes in the table as we do today, let alone the umpteen-bazillion routes which scare everyone so badly.
