My disagreement is that even though 99.8% of machines *don't* have multiple routers, you seem to be pedantically insisting that some sort of IGP is mandatory for *all* end hosts, even though only 0.2% or so will actually see any benefit at all.
Well I'd like to be able to plug in the cable router and the DSL router at home and have it all just work. Just because it is 0.2% today doesn't mean that it will be 0.2% in the future. As home users get more and more dependent on the internet working having diverse, independent network connectivity will become more and more important.
