WTF?

Since ISPs have to use dynamic IP addresses to cope with the IPv4 address shortage, a user's address changes, making it harder to track them over time.

ER, what? The days of dial up modems are long gone squire, everybody is on;lune 24x7 these days, so you need as many IP addresses as there are customers.

There is no logic to using dynamic IP addresses for most ISPs.
