One practical outcome is that IPv4 provides the privacy IPv6 was designed to sabotage.

I'll be boycotting IPv6 for as long as it's possible.

Well, that only applies if you think ISPs don't log your CGNAT sessions.

Exactly. Even if you enable "privacy addresses", you'll be disappointed to find that they only rotate every 24 hours by default, so all your incognito tab browsing can be trivially linked back to you, if they're done in the same day as your regular browsing.

You already said the word "default". One can simply adjust the rotation time to 600 seconds or even shorter.

The control is in _your_ hands. Unlike CGNAT, where the NAT owner is the one making decisions.
