In the real there are interconnection points within 2000 km or so from

That is not universal reality with North American networks at least.
I also have found it not to be the case with some commercial networks
in Europe and Asia/Pacific.

My main objection to so-called "geographic addressing" is that it is often
not congruent with the actual network topology.
