Been hearing that for decades now. Pretty sure they'll be valuable for a few more decades at the very least.

Just 1 decade ago usage was less than 1 percent, now it's nearly half. I'm not sure I'd bet decades more on them being particularly valuable when they haven't even been considered valuable for multiple decades yet.

Yeah, because NAT64 is 11 years old:

IPv6 was useless without it. It took over 13 years for people to figure that out.
