No it is not a large potion. There are roughly 20000 members, you’re talking about 3.5%. I know it is in vogue right now to just demand things, reality, law and facts be damned. Still:

The RIPE NCC needs the budget to keep operating. You can’t just suddenly pull funding because you feel like it. If you want a change (I don’t), go through the available options, the board members explained multiple times what these are and that they’re listening to your complaints. Maintaining the old charging scheme is not one of the available options. So it would be nice if people would accept the reality of the situation instead of repeating the same points ad nauseam.

Or just quit being a member if you feel it is not worth it. Sponsoring LIRs are available to you.
