My experience with downstreams who have needed address space without the need for an ASN is so they can have independence from their provider's address space, but do not necessarily have the skill-set or budget to run an autonomous system. So I do not think that it is necessarily wise to tie IP address resources to ASN resources in this way, by default. It is a valid operational approach for networks that require the address space - but not the autonomous system routing - to have their upstreams run their address space behind the upstreams ASN. As an operator running network across Africa, Europe and south Asia, we see and handle these use-cases all the time. In my experience, most customers in this scenario are more concerned with address space than routing.
