renting the allocations they own to their customers. (The 240/4 "for future use" problem is a relative distraction, honestly! but amazon's use of it *all* does irk me, as I had intended that space be used for all of humanity). Certainly by finally charging for their IPV4
The fact that it's now used internally in places, is yet another reason it will never show up in the global routing table.
Turning 240/4 into something usable on the wider Internet is a futile fight. It's however good for internal use as IPv4 already often needs translation boxes to talk to the global Internet (DFZ). So the work already done on making end systems able to use 240/4 is fine, but it also meant it's now used for internal things. So the fight should be to make it into proper RFC1918 style addresses for internal use so everybody agrees what's going on.
