IPv6 has been around for years. Why don't some people get with the program, instead of coming up with hacks to get around the address shortage.

[off-topic] My guess - many of the larger access providers have yet to feel the pain. You have mentioned it yourself, your IPv4 address virtually never changes, versus my example of hosts on a Swiss mobile network changing every other day. The latter suggests a higher contention ratio.
My ISP has no problem on phones. They use a 10.*.*.* address. ISP Natting. From their point of view, that is not a problem. Their official stance is that they are running tests on IPv6. For years they answer the same.
[1] An interesting question might be - how many applications will have a problem with that 0.0.0.0/8 range? Usually all zeros have meant all addresses or no address. Or default route.
Right. Old apps may have a problem. Even my ISP. What was that IP which was used by a new DNS service? Ah, 1.1.1.1. My ISP uses that internally on their home routers, many people can't access it.
