BS. In many countries (most of Africa, for instance), even the access
provider does not have in-addr.arpa delegation and therefore cannot
delegate it to its customers.
You can get a reverse delegation for /24. A provider without at least a /24
seems to me a bit like a bad joke, especially if that "provider" does not
know how to get the reverse delegation.
Requesting PTR means banning these customers, which can do nothing.
They can get themselves a competent provider. Sometimes the provider will
even start doing things the right way when faced with the alternative of
losing customers.
