meaning the IPS are SWIP'd to cable companies?
The IP addresses come from real home users, so they look "natural" and are difficult to detect as proxies. Websites have a harder time blocking residential IPs, because they don't want to accidentally block real users.
There's more, but this is the main thing.
You can buy here:

To be honest, for example CF, basically it doesn't matter.
search for resellers of bigger residential proxy providers.
some of the resellers are pretty shady/unstable.
but you can find plans for as low as $1/$2 per gb.
Just one example - People use it to replicate traffic usage and simulate it across different patterns to convince Google that they should rank you higher.
These bots still fail most of the time. Similarweb captures it. But Google and self hosted solutions are more advanced, even Umami it will flag it and discard the data as bot traffic.
I find similarweb a truly useless service when I look at the real data across the world and not just their data.
Here is a entrepreneur of a residential proxy service . She'll probably have time to write you back if you use smail. Seems like last year there were some posts of people wanting to put a laptop at your house. promised to pay big.

since residential proxy as a business..? how would they accuse the owner.
No, I just pay $5 a MONTH to my isp to get public ipv4
they are used for scraping or bypassing bans on websites that block vpns like 4chan
