Isn’t this just for free ipv4?

If you watch cloud providers ip spaces they are growing very impressively.

When people say ipv4 has run out they should qualify this as free IPv4

This is for unallocated IPv4. ISPs and cloud providers will still rent you an address for as long as you have money in the bank.

The opportunity to make money off an arbitrarily scarce resource is in my opinion a reason we haven’t seen more network operators pushing users towards IPv6.
