These /8's have been historically been used internally there's no reason they should be handed back. Handing them back would just prolong the migration to IPv6 for limited benefit.
I imagine the only reason you would use a IPv6 private address is if you didn't have allocated global ones. It's just replacing no chance of collision with some chance of collision.

Wikipedia can explain better than I do, but the TLDR is simply : you are defending useless destruction of value, the end result is that everyone's poorer, nothing else. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_broken_window http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_broken_window
