Granted that it is no worse than multihoming by routing protocols.

But, it merely means that neither BGP nor LISP works "completely
and correctly".

Well, yeah, if your internal routing (behind the ETR) breaks
then your network is broken...

No, what can break is internal routing of one of your ISP,
which is why you, an end user, want multihoming.
