It's not about being able to bypass it on Linux. You can imagine it would be pretty hellish if any client on any subnet could just take over any amount of IPs from other computers.
In your average unprotected LAN this will work, but not with any ISP that knows what they're doing.
It is possible to arrange things such that you can only get an address via DHCP, or even skip DHCP but ensure nevertheless that s certain MAC address can only be associated with a specific IP.
Meaning, you can statically assign the IP all you want on the WAN side, any sensible ISP network configuration will drop your packets then.
