I take it you're in the minority who don't play games, use mobile apps on 
your phone, use a dvr.......

or any SaaS applications accessable via the web, or indeed visit websites 
with shopping cart software, or CRM software, or blogs, or....


the large majority of software that interfaces to v4 networks does so 
through libraries and frameworks that seperate that part of the 
application stack from the part that the developer is building his code 
in.   So really and truly most software is written by developers who can 
barely plug and play their home networks, much less actually understand 
what dhcp means.
