This is a valid point, but it's also rather rare that one wants to
send large amounts of data directly to a friend in a neighboring flat
but one has not manually adjusting the local routing to take that into
account.

There must be at least a few hundred million mobile phones with data
capability, and a similar number of homes and small businesses with
WiFi systems.  So we can estimate that a large fraction of a billion
entries would be added to the routing tables.  How would that work?
