If that benevolent entity doesn't pay market rates to people who might 
have IP addresses that, at some cost to them, they could return AND 
doesn't forcibly reclaim all space and redistribute it on a needs basis, 
then it won't have very many addresses to give back out.

true.

If my teeth hurt and there's an appointment for a root canal available 
tomorrow and no appointments for cleanings for the next 7 years, I might 
very well just go get the root canal and move on to other more pressing 
issues.
