This is routinely circumvented using the Network Infrastructure and End User Networks clause of IPv4 allocation policy:

"IP addresses used solely for the connection of an End User to a service provider (e.g. point-to-point links) are considered part of the service provider's infrastructure. These addresses do not have to be registered with the End User's contact details but can be registered as part of the service provider's internal infrastructure."

That clause has been interpreted so that allowing the End User to use a small number of addresses (max 4, if remember correctly) from the PI allocation, it's OK. Such clause does not exist in IPv6-world, which makes IPv4 PI and IPv6 PI different in this respect.

I do not believe you can use IPv4 PI for that, it is for the PI Holders OWN use
only, not to be allocated to customers and so on

exactly what do you need to qualify for IPv6 PI? The last time I
looked[1] there was no requirements except the contractual ones to get
a /48.

Hostmasters rejects requests where some of IPv6 address space is for
interconnecting third parties (i.e. interface IPs, colo, LAN with customers,
etc), while for IPv4 PI it is possible and used widely.
