The point isn't that people will advertise channels based on CSV tokens that they don't actually own. The point is that clients don't have to care whether or not the channels are real: public routing works fine whether or not the channels are real, so validation is unnecessary.
Thus, the amount of bandwidth you need to successfully route, say, a USD token implemented on a CSV scheme like RGB is much less than you'd expect, as you don't need to fully validate every channel. (Remember that validating a single CSV token txout might require megabytes of proof data)
