It's just that many ISPs are running low on IPv4 addresses, I think.

With static IPv4, ISPs typically assign based on your router's MAC.
And that's all typically related to your account. So changing router
MAC doesn't even work. If you want a new IPv4, just use VPNs :)

Look at <https://luminati.io/>. Access to 20,000 static (datacenter?)
IPv4s costs $1 per GB, with a $250/month minimum, whereas access to
13.5 million residential IPv4s (aka Hola users) costs $12.50 per GB,
with a $500/month minimum.

Probably not.
