The average customer buying a "web-enabled" phone doesn't need a publicly-routeable IP. I challenge anybody to demonstrate why a cell phone needs a public IP. It's a PHONE, not a server.
I'm not buying a phone I can't run ssh from. End of story. My current phone does all that and more. Why step back into the dark ages of analog-type services?
