Every part of your car has an IP address. Every digital sign in public places have IP addresses. Every electronic lock might have an IP address. Every electronic that you own might already have an IP address. Every light bulb in your house will have an IP address

Yeah, but not a public facing one. My light bulb and your light bulb can both be 192.168.0.27, so long as our WAN IPs are different. I can understand 140 IPs per person being insufficient if every device was publically accessible, but I seriously doubt there has to be 140 telephone lines on the planet for each person.
