The space is allocated for research. To what end do you imagine it will be "usable", and for whom?

  Well, it appears to be usable to 98.7% of networks for DNS lookups;)

  No it was not. 1.0.0.0/8 was unassigned space until 2010 when it was assigned to APNIC. It was never "allocated for research" and the reason nobody wanted it is all the cross-talk with internal devices using something they shouldn't have.

    Whois literally says 1.1.1.0/24 is a research prefix. netnum: 1.1.1.0 - 1.1.1.255 netname: APNIC-LABS descr: APNIC and Cloudflare DNS Resolver project descr: Routed globally by AS13335/Cloudflare descr: Research prefix for APNIC Labs

      APNIC designated 1.0.0.0/24 and 1.1.1.0/24 out of the whole /8 to APNIC Labs for "research" because they were getting so much bogus traffic. That just happened a few years ago.
