Sure, the majority of "residential customers" (definition?) receive just 1 v4
address (and have to live with the mess of NAT), and sometimes even different
ones when they disconnect/reconnect.

But there are quite a few products out there, offered by ISPs which do
understand and respect the needs of customers for more than 1 IPv4 address
(and ask for more money ;-) )

Statically configured in my CPE and aggregated by ISP.
DHCP internally by CPE (a small router, owned and managed by the ISP)
