Having a PI allocation means news of available paths to you can be carried further (all over) in BGP space without being aggregated, so people are aware of you further away and may take different paths to reach you.

This is a really important point. That is, "the sorts" are willing to pay for slots in everyone's routing table (read: it costs them nothing) because they get better convergence. Having said that, a Loc/ ID split solution provides no value in this case of multihoming.
And if their servers are stationary, there isn't a mobility case where a Loc/ID split solution would help.
