This can be compared to hosting IP whois, where usually ip whois always show hosting as owner, but it can be changed to actual current user.
Due to the lack of IPV4 space, more ISPs are moving towards NAT where multiple users are on one ip (especially true on mobile networks). Most ISPs require you pay extra for a static ip and many of those won't actually update the whois for the ip either.
