Not disagreeing, but I'd like to mention a noticable proportion of IPv6 end users are behind CGNAT too. IPv6 doesn't remove CGNAT for everyone.

I don't understand. There is no CGNAT in IPv6. You can do NPT (network prefix translation) if you really wanted, but why would you let users share the same IPv6 address/prefix as it is too much work (and not needed in any realistic setup).
