I'm on a business line, and the L2 Ethernet segment consists of 1 device, their router.

And most of Wave users (or any broadband users in the US, for that matter) use DOCSIS, which does not have a shared L2.

That's fantastic for you, and for DOCSIS users (setting aside DOCSIS' other pain points), but your neighbors on residential Ethernet-based plans do not enjoy the supposed security benefits of NAT that you claimed upthread.
