How about we just declare IPv4 addresses to be static as of ..yesterday. They are not unique of course, but at some level they are. Done. Solve a whole bunch of heart ache.

Because there's markets where ip blocks sell for millions of dollars
That's why your ISP doesn't do statics for free anymore
Check the charts for price since 2020. It looks like IPv4-block prices almost tripled 2020-2021. Then seem to have been in gradual decline since then. I'm rather surprised.

An IP address costs $20-30 to buy. $1 a month would fund it in 2 years.
Your ISP doesn't do statics, but not because of the cost.
