+1 on removal of this policy.
I note that the same policy does NOT exist for IPv6, removal is best to
equalize the policies.
I think this policy was originally done to track usage of IPv4 blocks for
the purpose of tracking usage when requesting more addresses. Since there
is no IPv4 free pool, it is unneeded. In the case of IPv6, almost
everyone gets a block so large that almost no one will ever have to return
for more addresses, thus the lack of this policy.

Draft Policy ARIN-2018-3: Remove Reallocation Requirements for Residential
Market Assignments
Problem Statement:
Current number policy requires some organizations to create reallocations or
reassignments for residential subscribers. This requirement complicates record
keeping for ISPs. There is limited value today for requiring these records be
put into the ARIN database.
ARIN number policy for a long time has required ISPs to add a reallocation or
reassignment record for each of their subscriber address blocks. This policy
dates from the original cable allocations as a method to publicly show that a
portion of a larger block has been put into use.
Since ARIN no longer has a free pool of IPv4 addresses and requirements for
transfer are demonstrated without these records, this requirement is no longer
needed.
Furthermore, this requirement complicates reallocation & reassignment entry
into the ARIN database.3 Removing this requirement could reduce the complexity
required for accurately maintaining reallocation and/or reassignment records.
Policy statement:
Remove Section 4.2.3.7.3.1 (Residential Market Area) from the NRPM
Comments:
Timetable for implementation: immediate
