Indeed, I am not agreeing - as there is nothing that prevents ULAs from 
being transported by BGP.

We use ULAs for "services that must never reachable from the Internet",
and our routing being what it is, everything is transported by BGP - only
loopbacks in OSPF.  The difference is "do we announce it to other ASes?"

So maybe this should be "generally expected to be visible by other
networks on the Internet" (ULA: no, GUA: yes).

But that's neither precise nor does "expected" mandate anything - I might
want to announce our ULA prefix to our sister company, using eBGP, and
I might decide to not announce our GUA IPv6 PI /48 that we use for our
backbone infra "because people are not supposed to send packets there"...
