Because the metric is defined as a measurement of hops, not cost.
Metric The "distance" to the target (usually counted in hops). It is
not used by recent kernels, but may be needed by routing dae-
mons.
By definition then, a metric on a default route (or routes) is not
definable - there is no concrete target, only "all other targets".
That said, however, advanced routing techniques (rules, tables, etc.)
could be in place which would give additional output from "ip route
list" after the device. Hence the suggestion to file a bug anyway.
