This is simply not true. Between 20115 and 2016 the number of people in Europe who use the Internet grew from 277 million to 499 million, according to the ITU's key ICT data report:

That massive growth in Internet usage strongly suggests that there was genuine need for the address allocations made by the RIPE NCC.
