If they actually need the resources, then a needs-based policy does not
present an obstacle.  Where's the problem?

However, not having such a policy will mean that folks who _don't_ need
resources can also get them, which makes the (IPv4) scarcity problem
even worse than it already is.  That benefits speculators at the expense
of those who actually need resources.

You appear to be arguing against your stated interests.
