      And the average person is going to be using it without knowing. And never complain or anything.

      NAT works fine until you get stuck on CGNAT and can’t host anything on IPv4 without using a VPN.

          Yet.

          As IPv4 blocks get scarcer and ISP’s get more customers, they’ll all eventually have to move to IPv4 CGNAT.

          And that’s completely fine for most people.

          If you’re not one of those people, then IPv6 is your saviour.
