We didn't choose it. ARIN and other RIRs started handing out that space,
and if you didn't like it you were welcome to not have any more IP space.
There's a huge difference between getting a handful of networks to fix
their outdated filters and getting "the internet" to all upgrade their
software or replace old non-upgradable gear.

Lots of 2500s can't run that code. Where can I get a 240/4 compatible
update of c5200-is-l.113-11a.AA.bin?
Interestingly, my unpatched Ubuntu 7.04 notebook would let me install
routes for networks in 240/4, but would not let me configure an interface
IP in 240/4.
