Although, IPv6 is late enough already and the world can't ignore it forever, so that situation would change at some point in the future. That everybody has a fixed IP address would be nice but I doubt we will see that any time soon :(
Also, "not fixed" doesn't necessarily mean changing addresses on every few minutes and not all web apps have or want to have a "permanent login" feature. And ultimately - it's the developer's choice. Actually if you look at the log files on a busy system it's not unusual to have several ip addresses for an individual user session. Having identified the ISP one can normally tell when this will happen.
