ARIN declined to provide services to legacy holders unless they signed the LRSA, which many organisations objected to. The RIPE NCC is not in the same situation.
 
Just for sake of clarity, I’d to point out that ARIN does provide basic registration services to all legacy resource holders without fee or agreement – these basic services include registry updates via ARIN Online, Whois/RDAP publication, reverse DNS services
 including DNSSEC, etc.
(Legacy resource holders who wish RPKI and/or authenticated IRR services are indeed required to enter an RSA agreement and pay service fees, just as any other customer.  For more details see here -
