I hope you meant "still" instead of "already". ISPs handing out private IPv4 addresses have been around for as long as I have been online. For home users, that has been standard practice in many places

Where is "many places"? To my knowlege, in North America most users do not get RFC1918 addresses. I can certainly understand it happening in Asia and Europe, where there are not as many IPv4 addresses available.
Well, Europe is where I have my experience from. Some ISPs give you real addresses, some don't, I have seen private address allocations on and off since my first internet account, some time in the mid 90s My last three ISPs though have all given me real addresses, which surprised me, since I expected them to become less common.
