This is a strawman argument. Putting economic pressure on holding IPv4
addresses is not supposed to push for its returns nor to 'make everyone
happy'. It is supposed to push for economic usage of limited resource by,
say, leasing or selling of unused or marginally used addresses. That does
not make everyone happy, but could lead to overall better distribution
and less waste.
