Your argument does not hold water. Do a survey of customers
who have the "advanced" or "pro" package (with higher speed

though they have enough public addresses.

A survey of users where?

Of anywhere where ISPs offer a package with static IP addresses. I mean
a survey of regular customers, not fellow IETFers or geek buddies. How
many of them actually have multiple static IPs and how many are behind
NAT nevertheless. Run your survey and come back with data.


It's a rich tapestry.

It is.

Assuming that what is available in one region implies anything
about what is available in other regions is unproductive.

Assuming that IETFers and their ideas on how to configure a network are
representative of the general consumer base is ignoring this rich
tapestry.
