Personal opinion is somebody in liberty global screwed up in deciding on DS-Lite. By the time the mistake was identified and buried IPv6 transition was buried with it.
VM have never been able to properly manage IPv4. That is why we don't get static address etc. IPv6 where users are allocated a subnet must be a nightmare as you would reasonably expect that subnet to remain static.
It would be great if it was the end users responsibility to request an IPv6 address and the network providers responsibility to route the advertised address.
Come to think of it I did exactly that back in the late 80s when I requested a class b network and multiple operators have routed it for the past 30 years. Despite multiple ownership all seem pleased of that simple act 30 years ago.

plenty of "home" ISPs don't offer static IP addresses, so it's hardly something unique to Virgin.
I'm sure the argument against static IPs would be that why would a home user need a static IP address, and i can see why that argument would hold water.
