But  most people do not need it, nor are they smart enough to know how to
secure it!
Cool waste of money if it's not being put to good use!  A fixed IP leave a
nice trail all over the web.  In the case of a server it's just and entry
point and does not  leve a trail.
Any open port on your computer is a entry point for a hacker/cacker
Not really some thing to brag about, don't let people know your IP address!
