We went with a market so we didn't have to have the fight of reclamation, you may not like the market, but it is a far better choice than reclamation. A market motivates and maybe even rewards people to increase the use of unused or under-used address space. Reclamation motivates people to fight the increased use of address space by fighting the reclamation. Hostile or forced reclamation of address space will cost far more than a market ever will. And would likely be much more unfair than the market. Why is reclamation unfair, because those with the financial resources to fight it, will fight it, and those without financial resources won't. It's unfair because it won't be about use of address space it will be about who has the financial resources to fight reclamation. Furthermore, the huge effort reclamation would take gets us no closer to IPv6, in fact if anything it moves us away from IPv6. At least with the market as the cost of IPv4 goes up the motivation to do IPv6 does also. Please stop arguing for reclamation, it is not a viable alternative.
