Nah, if you sort by date here you can see how quickly IANA was doling out /8's to the RIRs up until they ran out: https://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-add...

Even if we hadn't wasted /8s on huge allocations to single companies, and things like 240.0.0.0/4, we'd still be basically where we are today, with v4 address space being scarce and traded as a commodity.

What's wrong with it being traded as a commodity?
