Why doesn’t every computer have a hardware based static ipv32 address, along with a private key to prove it is the sole owner of the address?

IMSIs are a bit weird since the introduction of 5G, to combat illegal IMSI catchers. The identifiers remain, but they’re not used directly anymore, like a MAC or IP address would be.
SIMs can be swapped between devices so I don’t really see them as device identifiers. I suppose SIMs are hardware too, unless you’re using eSIM.
