Why AWS ALB not provide to use static IP?

I have question about ALB.

I heard that need to use NLB, if I want to use static Ip for Loadbalancer.

Because ALB not support static IP service.

So I want to know why ALB not support that

I found another stackoverflow answer.

In AWS, why is that an NLB can provide static IP addresses whereas an ALB cannot?

But I want to know more detail that why it is better not to use a static IP in the application layer.

I'm not good well English. If you don't understand my question. let me know. I will edit to my posting

thank you

By default it does not, but you can add Global Accelerator to ALB and get static IPs for it. From docs:

Once enabled, you are able to see the new accelerated endpoint’s details, such as the two static IP addresses and the global DNS name, right in the ALB console. Let’s take a look at how to use this feature.
