Which is sufficient for 99.8% of hosts out there.

Yes yes we know, and we've understood this for a quarter century or so.  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..
