There are a number of good and reasonable uses for RFC1918 addresses. Just
assume a individual/business/corporate LAN with client/server applications
and statically configured ip numbering. RFC1918 addresses are perfect. NAT
allows this network to be connected through any provider(s) to the
Internet. There is no risk of collision of the internal address with
publically routed addresses.

To do without RFC1918 type address space it expect to

    a. Obtain unique, permanent address space for
       personal/business/corporate use
    b. Receive this unique, permanent address space
       at no cost
    c. Have this unique address space routed via any
       provider of my choosing
