Personally I prefer this as the default behaviour: there are already
plenty of ways for (web) sites to track us without adding to the list.

I certainly understand the desire of having static(-y) addresses when
wanting to run servers, but having it as a (free/low-cost) option is
preferable to me.

For a while I had a router model that would automatically reconnect at 4
AM everyday so I could regularly get a new address. Perhaps I'm overly
paranoid, but I'm enough databases already that I don't feel the need to
help marketers do their jobs.
