perhaps because this path has been taken in the past and failed?

hard to tell, isn't it.  and hard to say the effect on the places
to which it has spread.
I have previously contacted Swisscom about it back in 9/2003 and received the following response:
we are filtering on RIR minimal allocation boundaries. This creates some routing holes which we fill by these semi-default routes (towards our upstreams) for our customers' perusal.
Fixedorbit had to special case Swisscom since they came out in their IP table as the #1 IP holder. That honor is now held by DISO.
