No, Mike, You are missing that “an organization’s business purpose” may be something other than “running an operational network”.
We are attempting to ensure that the addresses go to those who intend to use them in an operational network, rather than treating them as a commodity futures investment, speculative transaction, or other financial manipulation at the expense of the internet. Even RIPE requires you to use at least half of the addresses on an operational network.
