Bad point of view.
You are going to require that people route everything
onto the Internet?
Not going to happen. There are a lot of assigned blocks
which you will never ever see on the Internet. And why would they be, it is
their network, thus theirs to route or not, to firewall or not.
1. “assigned” blocks is not the things,
that involves the routing. If you mean allocations – say that.
2. If it is THEIR networks, why the need GLOBALLY
unique addresses? Then they could use ANY addresses they like not asking me, or
you, or RIPE!

You mean a separate registry so that when people are
"OH I WANT INTERNETZ" that they simply announce their prefix, which
clashes with real prefixes on the Internet !? That will be a lot of fun.
I think you can’t
understand what is difference between private usage and announcing the block in
the Internet. If you want to use some IP addresses privately, you can do it
without any RIR. And only in the case you want to announce some block to the
public network, you have to abide the Internet rules and get unique numbers!
The sole reason for having registries in the first place
is to make sure these little numbers are globally unique and that they thus
don't clash.
Ever tried to merge the network of a couple of banks
after they where acquired by each other and all where using 192.168.0.0/16 in
their internal "totally private" networks?
Uniqueness is what is needed there for that to work.
It’s the
problem of the merging banks or any other companies, not the whole World. Why
RIPE should do the work for them? Or take in the consideration the internal
problems of SOME cases into the whole region policy?
