Many new LIRs are smaller operations with relatively small address space usage, and simply wouldn't get to send in a huge number of assignment requests within the first 6 months. Because of this, they're just not going to get the hang of RIPE's address space administrative requirements. Would it not therefore be more sensible to automatically increase the AW after either a set number of well-formed assignment requests were sent into RIPE?

Having sent in a set number of well-formed assignment requests sounds a lot more logical as condition for getting the AW raised than "having been an lir for 6 months" does. This ensures that small LIRs really get enough contact and - on the other hand - that big lirs will get their AW increased after only a short time. And all new LIRs have the same contact experiences with RIPE NCC when they get their AW raised - which is what we are aiming for, I'd guess.
