You seem to have a model that the IP space is being sold as if it were a commodity. What is being charged are the services. Please read the ARIN proposal.
You misunderstand. ARIN may not sell IP space as if it where a commodity. But by making cheaper large IP address blocks than smaller ones is allows the creation of just such a commodity market at a second level. In anycase how is a smaller block allocationa a chaper "service" than a smaller one? They should all cost the same per IP address, or even increaser as the block gets larger to give an incentive for intelligent use of address space, aggregation, and things like NAT. Not the other way around.
