The point is an IP address can identify the account owner of the connection - it doesn't identify which member of the family was using the net connection, or which strange walking past their house jumped on their unsecured wifi, or the exact customer using.
So IP address great for identifying the person who manages the net connection - not great for identifying who was actually using the connection for a specific request.
