One particular use case is:

DHCP communicates a default route without lifetime to Client.

Client inserts the default route without lifetime.

Some implementations may set that mandatory ND local field to arbitrary
values- some will expire it some won't.

Some Clients will run RS after that time others won't.

One other case is the following, for WiFi hotspot:

DHCP communicates the default route wihtout MAC address

Client will receive the defualt route and install it.

When it first uses it it will necessarily generate an NS-NA in order to
solve the default router's address into the MAC address.  This
additional NS-NA is noise on wire, compared to if the MAC address were
communicated in the first place.
