IX are used for optimizing local traffic patterns. Only very few 
applications of IX are about Internet peering broker service (but let's 
keep those out for the time being).

So if we assume that A wants to give some of his addresses to B & C via 
RS why do they need to bother with bgpsec at all ?

When A advertises it's nets to it's Internet providers yes it will 
forward sign it properly so they will be announced everywhere according 
to BGPsec rules.

Imagine an IX without RS ... A wants to peer with B and both establish a 
peering relation I really see no need why they should get any of 
additional security on top of their direct route exchange as B will not 
be a transit for A anyway.
