I don't know why this is being down voted. The entire modern bullshit Internet exists because of NAT. We can't host stuff ourselves and have to use some central system. Since nothing is free, the provider has to inject more and more ads everywhere.

Because it implies that it is the single reason that people don't host their own sites anymore, when in reality people don't because it is generally too difficult, expensive, unreliable and redundant to do so.
Almost nobody wants to host their own social media or messenger site and if you did your friends wouldn't use it too.
Besides, anyone who currently wants to do so can get a cheap VPS for dollars a month.
There is no telling what would happen. It is only difficult, expensive, unreliable because no one does it?
I think there is proof of the opposite in how people host giant torrents without much issues, some buy seed boxes, their friends use it too.
