Is this merely an assertion or do you have evidence to back up that this isn’t enough for probable cause? I believe a whole lot of people have been served search warrants due to ISP logs.

An ISP log contains more than just an IP address, they contain customer information as well. And to obtain that log the ISP either has to cooperate, or the police have to get another warrant. The IP address by itself isn't enough to get the warrant to raid a house.
