Honestly, I know a lot of people that do, but delivery address is less of a problem than other personal information.
I always make fake derivative versions of my names for anywhere I but from so I can tell who is selling my information and not buy from them anymore. The address matters less. I'm not avoiding the government and "hiding out" fo fuck's sake, I'm just avoiding having my data leaked like this. Any number of fake names that like up on the same address also dilutes these data sets the shady dealers try and ship around. The more names at any single address reduce the confidence of its accuracy, and therefore price.
