Why should an end-user ISP ever expect a settlement-free peering bandwidth graph to be symmetric? The important question is whether customers are requesting connections that route through through a particular transit provider. Comcast gets to sell "Internet" access, while the transit provider gets to sell bandwidth. Win win, no symmetry needed.

...you can't quantify "benefit"....

Isn't that the entire purpose of an economy?
