I disagree: there is a good chance that the receiver is a 24/7 running merchant/website, with a full up-to-date view of the network, whereas the payer is most likely a mobile wallet with less accurate/partial/out of date information. At least this is what we are seeing on the current mainnet. Routing table sync is hard on mobile clients, and I think that it makes sense that receivers "help" senders, after all incentives are aligned.
