If we agree to this reasoning, why not have a system where your fee
is proportional to the amount of resources you are allocated? For
obviously this is also true if you are a bigger company with more
customers?

If the argument is that you don't use 256 times as many RIPE resources
if you have a /8 instead of a /16, one could always go for APNIC-style
formulae:
