How do you figure things were misjudged? There's a fixed pool of IP Addresses that can be allocated. When that allocation pool runs out, no more can be allocated. Allocation occurs in blocks at a very high level and then at subsequent levels more sub block allocation happens. The INAN ran out of IPs to hand out. That doesn't mean that all of the IPs have been assigned to physical devices attached to the internet. For example the US Government Agencies have tons of IPs they aren't using but that had been previously allocated to them decades ago and can't be taken back.
