These /8's have been historically been used internally there's no reason they should be handed back. Handing them back would just prolong the migration to IPv6 for limited benefit.
I imagine the only reason you would use a IPv6 private address is if you didn't have allocated global ones. It's just replacing no chance of collision with some chance of collision.
You are defending the broken windows fallacy. Wikipedia can explain better than I do, but the TLDR is simply : you are defending useless destruction of value, the end result is that everyone's poorer, nothing else.
No, just the opposite. There would be real costs for those companies that have /8s to move away from them. Meanwhile the gains would be minimal - at best it might allow some organizations to put off moving to IPv6 for a few months.
