Why not? RIPE is the official register and has to act on each transfer. Of course some might "lease" their space
instead, but this puts a significant risk on the user/ customer. I assume many users wouldn't want to take that risk and
so the majority of this business is blocked. Together with an enforced return of some percent of assigned ipv4 space
every year this would be very effective to push ipv6 adoption significantly.

That's why transfer/ selling should be completely forbidden.
