Because: 
 - for a small LIR it's still too expensive (usual quote is 11-13 USD/IP
 for /22 to /24)
 - there is some risk of "bad quality IPs" (blacklists, bad reputation,
 bad and slow-to-update geoloc data)
 - missing business procedures/confidence (issue of using escrow account
 does not help)

It will not stop dishonest ones. May checking the actual need may slow
them down a little bit, but that is not sure either.
However, the honest ones will not have to use the same practices that
they already consider "cheating".
