Please explain to me how the job of applications gets any easier if the local addressing is done with a hijacked prefix....
Why exactly should we care if party X's internal applications break because it hijacks a prefix?
Because simply allowing internal apps to break is in clear violation of the robustness principle. (e.g., if two disconnected/intermittently-connected sites that have somehow hijacked the same prefix encounter one another we have what Data would call: "a simple matter/anti-matter reaction".)
For plenty of scenarios that call for local communications within sites, see:
