I don't mean to say I think excessive government control is a good thing. Rather, this is a political question that ICANN/IETF/IANA has to avoid. The ITU has avoided this studiously for decades, throughout the cold war even. As I think you note, its just is the way it is. As the saying goes

Iljitsch; We need to keep the size of the global routing table in check, which means wasting a good deal of address space. That's not untrue. However, as the size of the global routing table is limited, we don't need so much number of bits for routing. 61 bits, allowing 4 layers of routing each
