"Why would AS1 and AS2 be in the same IGP

It is not a real network, just a practice scenario. The author may want us
to practice weird things.

"Also, why would BGP routes be in the IGP?"

The BGP routes are not in the IGP but the next hop are which in this case

Pref is your tool here. Why would AS1 and AS2 be in the same IGP
domain? Also, why would BGP routes be in the IGP?
