I’ve no idea who your upstream LIR is, but I know that quite a few LIRs **will** assign IP blocks to clients in the RIPE database. Doing it for every single individual IP would be an admin burden, but I know we do it for a lot of our clients who have blocks of IPs.
Do you mean "will _register_ IP blocks"? That's my experience as well. Do you also assign an abuse-c?
So please don’t make broad sweeping statements as if they were facts.
They /are/ facts, up to a few exceptions. Once there was a sort of self registration, SWIP[*], for self registering small blocks (I got a /29). The concept of ISP in that document[*] was much more transitive than in current acceptation. Why was it dismissed? Best Ale -- [*] https://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/inaddr/arin-templates/swipinstruction.txt
