Lots of people don't have much choice.

Frankly, my IoT washing machine having a public IP address sounds like it'll get shut off when I don't let it online or don't pay my subscription fee.

Yeah but it's not like IPv4 is any better at giving you a stable public address.

Funfact my washing machine has a public ipv6 address, but egress/ingress conns to the WAN are blocked. works great.
