I think we're talking past each other at this point. I want security both globally and locally. I want to be able to tell my browser who it should trust and what level of paranoid it should be in each context. If I go through the work of recompiling a bunch of software with custom trust anchors, I don't want it to all be for naught because in the last mile my browser says "I'm lost I only understand global TLS".
I LOVE the idea of NAT-less global internet. It's why I love IPv6. At that level anything that wants to participate should be secure and "go Chrome" for leading the charge. I even think firewalls for global IPv6 are stupid. If you're global you're global no amount of silly packet filtering rules is gonna change that.
But that's not the end all. I don't want my entire house to stop working because I got a new ISP and I have a few days of down time. Or more like because my ISP went down because they oversell bandwidth and haven't updated their routing hardware in 15 years. Maybe I don't want my file server with all my family photos globally addressable. Maybe I don't want my kids on the global internet at certain times. The point is I know what's best for my house. Im sick of the old IPv4 mindset where the only reasonable model is centralized global trust (see we agree that's been the status quo).
