I understand the rant, and partly agree. Though there's little actual benefit to internal routing, it doesn't have to be all bad either. I've seen nicely done internal routing which needed little or no extra effort to work on.

Unfortunately, like so many things, internal is one of those things which is nice when done well (not great , just nice), but a total bar when done poorly, as it often is.
