Having read this thread, I wonder if this problem came
about because:
* originally the initial route used with a socket was
 determined by the path the initial packet was received
 (seems like a reasonable optimisation);
* this was perceived by someone as a "bug" because it
 didn't "properly" select "any" network interface for
 packets going out;
* the "bug" got fixed.

but the above is just random speculation on my part.
