If i'm not mistaken its because IPs are actually much easier to rotate than domains.

E.g. all the users will remember `example.com` , underlying it doesn't matter what IP it resolves to. If the IP gets "burned" , then the providers can rotate to a new IP (if their provider allows).

Vs. telling your users to use a new domain `example.org` , fake websites etc.

Also sensible ISPs usually don't block IPs since for services behind a CDN it could lead to other websites being blocked, though of course sometimes this is ignored. See also: https://blog.cloudflare.com/consequences-of-ip-blocking/
