Arguably if people had somehow rejected NAT more violently, IPv6 might’ve been popular much sooner cause you gotta solve the “woops there are now more devices than addresses” problem somehow.

For the sake of running a home server from a network not behind a NAT router, you don’t need to understand much more about IPv6 than how to copy&paste an address.

The fact that my laptop right now has 10 different ipv6 addresses assigned to it when my ISP doesn't even support ipv6, (and two ipv4 addresses) says users need to understand more than copy and paste.
