"isn't hard to do". Yeah, I have seen vomitting horses, right in front
of the pharmacy. With prescription in their mouth.

What do you do against intradomain routing problems? Loops? DDoS
congestion? With proper BGP multihoming you (as end site) can just
withdraw your announcement via this problematic uplink. Doesn't
help you with more-specific pseudomultihoming and people filtering
the more-specific. Traffic to you still ends up in the problem area.
