Or perhaps our understanding of the implications of NAT cause us to oppose it.
NAT is a hack that's used to get around the shortage of IP addresses and in the process violates IP specs that addresses shouldn't be tampered with and it also breaks some things.
Now that more than sufficient addresses are available, there's absolutely no justification for continuing to use NAT.
You're ignoring the real world. Time, money, unnecessary change etc. I have a "very broken", yet perfectly working NAT setup joining my local RFC1918 office network to my external IPv4 /27 and IPv6 /48 - there is no justification for changing that.
