RFC1918 provides private address space for applications where uniqueness is not required. There are applications where uniqueness is necessary without connection to the public internet. Long standing RIR policy specifically calls these applications out as legitimate in multiple regions. (I’m not sure about AFRINIC, TBH, I’d have to review the CPM to look for it). RIRs register addresses for uniqueness, not necessarily for use on the public internet.
