The vibe I got from a number of administrators I talked to about it was "why would a standards document assume an IPv4/IPv6 unicast address is a residential customer with a modem, forcing those with allocations to prove that they are not residentially allocated rather than the other way around?"
What percent of allocated globally routed IP addresses are residential endpoints, and what percent are in data centers? What's the better base assumption if your goal is "I don't want to talk to address ranges that are full of botted boxes"? There's a *reason* why "default deny" is a well-known security policy.
