This would be woefully inaccurate for websites with a large amount of mobile traffic (because of CGNAT), or university traffic, or etc.

Don't universities have a huge number of IPs because they were the first to use internet ?

Mine gives one public ipv4 per device that access the internet on the network (with some exceptions). Strategies varies but if you have a lot of addresses why not use them.

That might be true for some US universities, but it's definitely not true for the rest of the world.
According to Google, IPv6 traffic is up to 30% these days.
