To my knowledge, it's ICANN, not the IETF.

Yes, this has been an ICANN contribution to the community since
the creation of ICANN, when these functions were transferred from
their previous home at ISI.
Note: I think we need to define IETF requirements and get them filled,
and that this process is one way of achieving that.
If we find that ICANN isn't willing or able to do what we desire from
them, we need to go somewhere else for running registries - at least new
ones, and possibly old ones too. (There are some old ones with thorny
issues attached to them, but new ones don't have that.)
So ICANN doing this "for free" does not mean that we don't get to say
how the job is done.
