Too much grey area with respect to property rights (or lack thereof) as they relate to INRs. Until there is more 
concrete case law on the matter, which isn't likely to happen in most of our careers, monetizing it will be the rule.

Hopefully IPv4 becomes irrelevant (although still used) before that
happens. That said, the history of other US high courts decisions on
critical resources (domains + numbers) is of very reasoned decisions,
so if one comes along, it will likely not be what "monetizers" would
prefer.
