OK, but consider:

My point is that there is nothing unique about the inherent COI here vs.
virtually
any other class of user of ARIN services.
I disagree. Those who are in the ISP, cloud provider or CDN business are
in the business of putting the addresses to use to benefit the Internet
community. Number resources are something that are needed for them to do
business.
Address brokers view number resources as a commodity to be bought, sold
and arbitraged. They don't care about the Internet community. CIDR
blocks could just as well be pork bellies or oil and gas futures as far
as they are concerned. Address brokers fare better when number resources
are scarce, as they're more valuable. The others you mentioned do better
when the resources are plentiful.
Do we want those that personally profit by addresses being scarce in
charge of determining ARIN policy?
