I suppose because (in the context of Access networks) the
most interested folk that would be even willing to consider
paying them for their routes are the content owners.
As a fellow middleman with no content on the backbone, I'd
have little interest in paying an Access network for their
routes, if it's cheaper to get to them through an existing
peer or upstream.
