Cox (US residential ISP) recently started blocking all port 80 inbound to residential IPs.

Don't most ISPs already use NAT and therefore disallow all inbound traffic to devices behind it? I personally had to use WireGuard to work around it for some of my homelab servers that i wanted to publish: https://blog.kronis.dev/tutorials/how-to-publicly-access-you...
I don't know about "most", but in the US, the residential broadband I've seen has public IPs. LTE/5G mobile networks do not.
Some use CGNAT, but you can disable it if you need to run servers.
You can disable it IF the ISP has an opt-out
Sorry yes that is what I should have said
That's common in Australia and New Zealand along with some other potentially high risk ports, usually you can opt out of it in your settings.
