First, ISP level engineers are going to configure default routes for customers, and, indeed, there often are default routes in POPs, or in smaller ISPs. Second, the combination of static default routes with multiple administrative distances can get quite complex. Third, I am more bothered by the lack of static routes than defaults. Complex static routes, with alternatives, are common for traffic engineering. Blackhole static routes are extensively used.
