Did you miss the part where our government can’t even pass a budget, but you’re expecting them to pass laws like this?

You can’t spoof your IP address because of the TCP handshake. You could proxy your traffic to appear from coming from a different IP address than from the computers making the requests. This would still be identified as suspicious because the proxy IP address would differ from an IP address a user had logged in from before.
Even if the “hackers” knew every user’s IP address, they would not be able to establish a connection with it appearing from an IP address that didn’t really initiate the traffic.
