Actually they have several different products based on IP type and quality. The credit-card only access you're talking about is for shared and flagged residential proxies. ISPs legally sell them to businesses and they can work for some use cases, but you need a video call and KYC to get access to a high quality IP pool, such as real mobile IPs they source from p2p services like VPNs.

They need to know who to blame (cough come after cough) if their top-shelf stock gets tainted by some script kiddie.
