Perhaps because there are about 4 billion left.Low priority or not, the NCC is spending quite a bit of hostmaster time in talking to LIRs and trying to reclaim "looks unused" ASNs. Guess how I know. "Here's my 50 bucks, I claim I need this for another year" is so much less lifetime wasted on all sides.Sure, but that's a membership decision and not a community decision.
My understanding of how this all works would be that if the anti-abuse community felt strongly that a fee for ASN would reduce abuse on the Internet, that it could put together a proposal saying just that. While this would ultimately have to be up to the members to approve (*), at least they would have a clear proposal with documented rational to discuss.
(*) I guess? I admit to never having read the details of how charging is set, since I have never represented a RIPE NCC member.
