There's a lot of companies in the Class A club that don't necessarily need their whole allocations, but for reasons of legacy it might be difficult to displace them.
When Apple and MIT got their allocations it probably seemed pretty reasonable at the time. "How many organizations like that would be interested in the internet? A dozen? That sounds about right."
There was a time where anyone with a .net domain name would be able to apply for and probably get a /16 allocation with hardly any questions asked.
