That is only true for the client side.

This change by the ISP occurs at least every 3 days or so).

Clients address guards by their IP address, and they try hard to only talk to their selected guard. If that guards hops to another address, they have no chance of noticing that and need to select another one.

That makes your node pretty useless as a guard, and it shouldn't be elevated to guard status.
