Even if I agreed with what you have said above, and I do not, this last statement bears no resemblence to the policy you have proposed.

If you want to propose a policy that matches your last sentence, I would not oppose that, so long as any additional ASNs had to be issued under the current multihome requirement.

However, your proposal doesn’t say someone who has PI space is entitled to 1 ASN. It says anyone who wants one is entitled to as many ASNs as they want.

That’s simply a bad idea.
