NAT is the reason for IPV6 not taking over.

Also it acts as a nice security perimeter. If all IoT devices in a home were exposed to internet, It would be absolute mess.

Setting up a firewall with an IPv6 deny inbound policy takes about 30 seconds. How is this an absolute mess?

NAT doesn't act as a security perimeter, and not having NAT doesn't mean that your devices are exposed to the Internet.

NAT is about dealing with address space shortages, not security.

This gaslighting keeps being repeated, but fact of the matter is that any consumer/home network will be exposed to the internet if they're using SOHO equipment via IPv6 and won't be via IPv4.

And huge % of SOHO routers won't even allow configuring IPv6 firewall which makes security a disaster.
