Wouldn't you say that there is a very real expectation that
when you request address space through ARIN or RIPE that it would be
routable?


I certainly would not say that.  

I would say that I get addresses from the RIRs to avoid address collisions with other network operators using the same 
approach. And, please note this well, address collisions affect more than Layer three routing.  See all the previous 
mentions of application gateways.
