Everyone who wants to is already doing v4 NAT along with IPv6 in a dual-stack setup. In this NAT64 alternate reality the discussed AWS configuration would be "v6-only vpc with NAT64 disabled".

(And mandating NAT in routers would be a pretty radical departure from the current internet architecture).

Far less radical than having two different versions of IP on the Internet at the same time.

When there was only IPv4 there was no reason for backwards compatibility. Caring about backwards compatability doesn't become radical simply because it becomes necessary.
