Note that IPv6 doesn't necessarily have static addresses either. Also note that IPv6 support on the client side is gradually increasing. With current trends we'll reach the 100% in the next decade. At a certain point, some services will go IPv6 only.

Yes, but it makes static addressing far more affordable, and justifiable. Especially in city board meetings where an issue like that is raised.

Ipv6 is effectively supported everywhere but the ISP. Again, it's intentional, the only reason they'll change is federal requirements. It's the only reason the ISP here does 25/4. Because broadband requirements. They didn't change anything to do it either, they just flipped the switch. Costed them maybe a couple thousand in labor.
