Yes, but they run a bunch of other useful services for internet plumbers too.

This would just be another "general good of the internet" service.

RIPE for example run.

Atlas: A cooperative service for internet reachability and measurements. - https://www.ripe.net/analyse/internet-measurements/ripe-atla...

DNSMON: Monitor the root and TLD's and other key internet domains. Does so from many locations so as to test anycast issues. - https://dnsmon.ripe.net/

RIPEStat / BGplay: Debug and examine internet reachability issues. - https://stat.ripe.net/ - https://stat.ripe.net/bgplay

And volunteer resources to help to run other things, like https://www.as112.net/ that sinks all the PTR lookups for RFC1918 that leaks to the internet, among other things.
