Yeah, get over it. Number resource transfers are a thing, and this number is only going to increase.
You are correct. In this case, it would have been helpful if APNIC's WHOIS server returned something, when queried about 103.11.67.105, that would include an explicit referral to the ARIN WHOIS server. I mean they obviously know all the transfers they've made. But I guess that somebody somwhere decided that that's just too much trouble.
David Conrad already pointed out that this problem has been solved using RDAP which supports referrals. Try installing the nicinfo command from: https://github.com/arineng/nicinfo At a guess, I'd say referrals haven't been implemented in whois because the whois "protocol" is unfixably broken and unsuitable for distributed information sharing.
