The costs of registration services are not linear with the amount of address space consumed.

As such, a flat fee per address would not be a fair way to recover the costs.

A flat fee per request would come closer, but, also is not completely linear because there are some cost variables that do actually track the size of a block loosely.

The current system makes an effort to roughly correlate these things into a set of fee categories that more or less does that.
