First of all, at least ten of the 254 available /8 address ranges (almost 170 million) has been assigned to the US DoD.
Fair enough, after all it was their invention to start with. But 170 million addresses? Not even if they give every single gun it's own IPv4 address it would make any sense.
After that there is:
03.0.0.0/8 General Electric Company 09.0.0.0/8 IBM 12.0.0.0/8 AT&T Services 13.0.0.0/8 Xerox Corporation 16.0.0.0/8 Digital Equipment Corporation 17.0.0.0/8 Apple Inc. 19.0.0.0/8 Ford Motor Company 32.0.0.0/8 AT&T Global 34.0.0.0/8 Halliburton 38.0.0.0/8 PSINet Inc. 40.0.0.0/8 Eli Lilly & Co. 47.0.0.0/8 Bell-Northern Research 48.0.0.0/8 Prudential Securities (insurance company) 52.0.0.0/8 duPont
... and so on. All of them with a hefty 16.77M address space. And, unlike e.g. Stanford University, that had 36.0.0.0/8 but returned their allocated block, none of the US companies seems interested in reducing their blocks to a more normal state, but rather is trying to make money of it, selling addresses to the highest bidders.
