I wouldn’t put the number so high. I’ve on several occasions seen not very technical people unnecessarily burn money on VPSes or dedicated hosting providers because they couldn’t expose a game server for a evening session with their friends with the spare capacity on their gaming machine, because of their ISPs NAT setup. 90% would be fairer. However we still shouldn’t be sacrificing securing agency of individual consumers for securing smoother revenue for corporations.

Dynamic DNS and port forwarding work fine if you really do want to run a server from your residential IPv4 connection. I've done it many times.
