The cost of making 240/4 usable is to update every device on the planet, 
including legacy ipv4 stacks.

240/4 is 16x/8.  Before ARIN reached exhaustion, this would have 
constituted a little more than 1 year of RIR consumption.  Bringing 
240/4 into production won't change the principle that ipv4 address 
exhaustion is going to happen: the only thing it does is to move the 
date a couple of months down the road.

There are plenty of people who are not ipv6 zealots, but who view this 
this as not worth it.  Nothing fundamental is going to change, and the 
cost is very high.
