I agree, it looks to be getting better.  I note in the IETF 2017 Budget at

https://iaoc.ietf.org/documents/IETF-Budget-2017-28Sep16-FINAL.pdf

there is a large section called "ISOC Support Services”.  This apparently is accounting for what ISOC provides, and is more specific than what was done in earlier years.
