That's short-sighted, but I agree in that that's what happens. Not filtering doesn't prevent them to operate.
*THIS* is the problem we have to fix.
Source-based routing when going back to the backbone, at least on IPv6. It allows end-user multihoming with no BGP, and routers could be programmed to, by default, drop packages that don't know how to source-route, hence, automatically source filtering for those that don't care enough.
Difficult to do. Will take years to develop and adopt... if at all.
