Do we care what people do on their private networks? Is it any of our business?

​Since network use of IETF protocols is at least as important as Internet, yes it is very much IETF business if it wants to remain relevant.

As for what the IPv4 consortium would do, I wrote out a draft list:

* Determine IPR policy.
* Chose venues for upcoming meetings.​
* Form advisory committees.
* Hold elections to advisory committees.
* Set a schedule of membership fees.

And that is just for starters.

... and they might perhaps figure out some technology wheeze that we did not notice, or which was less pure than we would accept, but none the less acceptable to most users, and thereby find a way to extend the service life of IPv4.
