Actually, they don't want to pollute the internet routing table with routes that are fully subsumed into other routes. The effect on address ownership is a side effect.

Actually, they just want to milk the money out of you. It's a matter of how much your willing to pay, as a business customer, it's all possible.
Most ISP do not have such pure goals, as to protect the global routing tables ;)
RIRs, not ISPs, allocate addresses at the top level, they make money on each address allocation, and they still won't allocate addresses to you if you don't multihome because they have a duty to conserve resources.
When you get PI addresses your LIR/ISP just passes your data on to the RIR.
