I do not consider it acceptable for a jurisdiction to allow entities in it to evade the responsibility I believe they have to be accountable for public resource fragments assigned to them. The right answer to "this country doesn't permit me to make my contact info public" is "that's too bad, come back when you've got your laws fixed", not "well then I guess we'll let you duck the responsibility that inheres in the privilege we're granting you".
The LIR holding the address space *is* visible. So if one of their customers is doing bad things, you know whom to talk to - and if necessary, sends the feds to. If the LIR is "careless" - well, in that case mandatory end-user registrations aren't going to be very useful either.
