The operator of the network is sovereign over the operation of that
network.
If that operator defers sovereignty to another authority, that is their
choice.
Choices may have implications.

If a network operator chooses (or chooses to comply with an order) to use
addresses which other network operator will not route, the ramification of
that choice is a lack of interconnectivity.
