Pick any subset.

What will the organizations without ASNs do in that circumstance if this policy
is passed?

There are a lot more organizations on the internet without ASNs than with.

You stated it as a benefit of the policy. As such, it is fair to point out
that it is a negative, not a positive aspect of the policy.
