Sure.  But  they don't necessarily have to have WHOIS listings up to
date in order to successfully demonstrate utilization; it is possible
they provide private documentation or utilize the  spreadsheet method
of demonstrating utilization,  without publishing details in WHOIS,
and indicate they themselves serve as contact.

The IP address WHOIS database is a system for identifying valid
network contacts to report connectivity and operational issues to,
and the contact listed in WHOIS for a network does not necessarily
have to be an organization capable of identifying an individual user
or customer.

WHOIS is not a system for tracing IP addresses down to an individual user level,
not with IPv6, not with IPv4.
