I also agree that this is an argument on very shaky ground, bordering on ridiculous. It is almost 0 barrier to entry for any small entity at this point. If you can't justify even the most modest needs test, then why do you need your own ip space to begin with?
I could probably pass needs test with just my home network at this point, so I find it very uncompelling that we should remove the requirements just because a lazy business owner ran afowl of them and would rather rail against the governing body than put forth any effort to resolve the issue, or fix his own business model around the realities of the market / physics / math of IPv4 ip address availability vs demand. Note: I've been denied in the past for blocks. No it isn't an enjoyable experience, but the rules are there for a reason. It's really not that hard to fix the issue. The main problem these days is with ISP contiguous block availability and subsequent renumbering, and my understanding is that has been resolved by policy changes. If this issue remains, then let's fix that, not throw the entire set of management out the window because one guy can't get a block of IPs for his single leaf web server.
