CGNAT is a scourge, but at least around me, it doesn't seem to be the norm for residential wired internet.
5G yes; starlink, I think so?; geosynchronous satellite, I don't know, but probably. T-Mobile 5G fixed location internet does offer static IPs if you have a SMB account with an EIN, but not for home accounts or SMB with a SSN.

It used to be rare in France, too, but now it seems to be spreading. AFAIK SFR, one of the major ISPs, doesn't even offer the option (paid or otherwise) to avoid it.
Edit: they do provide what looks like a fixed IPv6, though.
SFR will switch you from cgnat to ipv4 if you contact customer support and explain that you work from home and need to open specific ports to access your work servers or VPN. I did just this a month ago. Takes less than 24 hours and you should be OK on ipv4.

They realised they can sell the ipv4 blocks for far more and most consumers don't know any better or care. At least I keep my ipv4 adres if I keep the connection up (dhcp lease time is ignored, it is 4 hours despite dhcp saying 24). Asking for a ipv6 adres is like shouting into the void and waiting for an echo which never comes.
