True, but they're in a league where the reason to use non-routable IP
addresses is to limit external access -- another, very valid, reason.

I don't think so. It's too easy for one machine somewhere to be
compromised, allowing someone to proxy to any internal address. You
can't let one compromise turn into hundreds anyway. I honestly think
this is one of the worst arguments for using non-routable addresses.

You're giving the argument for no machines to be externally visible at
all. If you've got to have outside access, only allow it to a few,
tightly controlled machines.
