There is another issue involved, I believe:
netstat is for everyone to have a look - you cant change anything.
route is for root to change things vital to the system.

To me it makes sense to distinguish.
Nontheless I would prefer consistency:

mount => all mounts
ifconfig => all interfaces
route => all routes
who => all users logged on
etc.
