I show that this routing step is not register neutral: text written in a non-standard English register, African American English or the English of second-language writers, is systematically assigned a lower-capacity tier than a meaning-equivalent standard-English version of the same query. The effect is driven by a specific, common routing signal, input length, because non-standard registers omit function words and thus look shorter and therefore simpler; other complexity signals do not carry it. I demonstrate the disparity on 37,704 authentic learner sentence pairs and on a controlled parallel corpus. I then measure the quality consequence on a device, edge, and cloud model ladder and find that the harm is driven by pervasive model bias, every tier, including a frontier cloud model, answers non-standard-register queries significantly less accurately, while the marginal quality cost of the routing decision itself is not significant on this benchmark. Complexity-based routing thus compounds the exposure of the users that the models already serve worst. Comments: 4 pages, 2 figures.
