Because that's what IP addresses are. Totally worthless unless community participants voluntarily route traffic for those IPs to the assignee.
Note that community participants can do this with or without ARIN having updated some entries in a database.
Would de-peer with Microsoft (or turn down a transit contract from them) just because they wanted to announce some Nortel address space?
Would ARIN really erase the Nortel entry and move these addresses to the free pool if Microsoft doesn't play along with one of the transfer policies?
Would you announce addresses someone had just obtained from ARIN that were already being announced by Microsoft?
