CGNAT will be here for the forseeable future and I wouldn't be surprised if ISPs end up deploying some version of CGNAT on IPv6, assuming they're somehow forced to use IPv6 in the future.

Why would they want to run CGNAT on ipv6?

I can think of couple of reasons for it

- they get money for selling static/public IPv4 addresses right now and they wouldn't want this money going away when IPv6 arrives

- can't imagine how the world will look like with shitty insecure routers everywhere and everyone having a public IPv6 address, ISPs might provide NAT connections to protect non-tech people

If I'm not mistaken, one of the largest ISPs in my country has begun to roll out IPv6 but it was either broken the last time I checked or it had some form of NAT on it.
