Most IPv4 space is unused anyway, but it's not being reclaimed much despite that. (How many IP addresses does the US federal government need? Few people would think ~ 10 /8s. Especially since many of them aren't even lit up.)
What do you mean, lit up? You mean they're not in the routing tables that you get from your carriers? I'd argue that's no indication of whether they're in use or not.
Especially given that they're know to be in use. e.g. it's not a secret, they just don't appear in your internet.
