I don't really know which "we" you refer to that did find enough v4 ips. Once you could get a /24 by just applying for it, now you have to purchase second-hand ranges from some previous spammer network taken down so the ip reputation of those is total crap, and if you don't intend to run a "whole" network, you more or less have to lease one v4 ip from an American company in order to host something yourself.

That is like saying "uranium is globally available to purchase" except you can't find it in stores anywhere and you go to jail if you seriously start asking around for where to buy it.
