I too like NAT and am not sure why everyone is so keen to get rid of it.
With IPv6, all my home machines could be naked on the internet and individually addressable. But no one honestly wants that.
So there will be a home firewall. And instead of port forwarding there will be punching holes in the firewall.
And because regular home consumers won't want to do this manually for every service on every device, there will be a UPNP equivalent, however terrible that already is.
I recall hearing stories of ISP's trying to limit how many devices could use a given Internet connection and how retarding (IE as in actually limiting progress) that was.
I don't need my ISP trying to bill me per machine connected.
Some part of me wants IPv6. I know I don't want ISP level CGNAT. I know I don't truly understand IPv6.
The cost/benefit ratio hasn't motivated me to look closely at IPv6 yet. I am hoping that by the time I am so motivated, there will be plentiful standard patterns of home use, easily readable (please not more tutorial videos...) for me to learn and to point family and friends at.
