I've yet to see a single ISP (I live in the US) that even allows customers to host services. If you look in the TOS for services like Comcast, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc, you'll see a part about hosting services being forbidden. And that's even for normal IP4 addresses that aren't behind CG-NAT. Now, they probably don't look too hard unless you give them reason (I hosted various things over a Comcast connection for a decade) but the rule is in there. Perhaps it's different for a mom & pop ISP, but I don't see the big ones configuring anything that makes it easier to do what they already don't want you doing anyway. They see the inability to forward ports as a feature, not a bug. |

So even if you expose your Home Assistant web to the wide web, no ISP is going to have a problem with that and won't interpret it as hosting services. What they really want is that you don't run a bandwidth intensive services on a consumer connection, which is going to be overbooked somewhere in their infra, causing service degradation to other users.
And for example Orange does provide PCP for their CGNAT.
