Address allocation is unsustainable but that's not IPv6's fault: it's done the same way (or even worse) in IPv4. But somehow the industry as a whole seems incapable of recognizing that having each and every ISP with 200 customers (not even that in AfriNIC/LACNIC regions), no matter how regional/local, occupy a place at the top of the global addressing hierarchy is a flawed idea.
Err... So you want to protect the incumbent ISP's?  Even those once
started off with 200 customers.  Who is going to decide if some (today)
small ISP is worthy of receiving its own PA space or not?  Do they
have to renumber if they manage to get more than 200 customers?  Who
is going to pay for the renumbering?  Do they have a budget to renumber
(they are small, remember)?  You just looking at the status quo, but not
on a timeframe of a couple of years.

In a static world your reasoning would work but the world is not static.
