I wish Apple agreed.

But on the other hand, there are use cases where checking for the existence of a default route is the best heuristic.

I mean that's what a default route is supposed to mean, right? That this machine can route to any address. It might not get there because of a firewall, or because nothing is at a given address but you're at least claiming to know what to do with a packet destined for anywhere.

I think that’s a reasonable assumption for applications to make. I think that’s a less reasonable assumption for your keyboard to make.
