Really?

 Yes, such ISPs exist, although only a small amount here in Germany.

This is only because Germany was early to the table and got lots of IP addresses when they were cheap.
There aren't enough IP addresses for everyone to have one - that's a fact. Some people have to lose out. Move to IPv6 already. Most ISPs new enough to have to use CGNAT are also new enough to have IPv6 out of the box.
By the way, almost all mobile networks are exclusively IPv6, with IPv4 tunneled over it to a CGNAT gateway.
