Having made this bold claim, have you ever actually tried to run a natted
eyeball network?  The last two natted eyeball networks I worked with could
never figure out which aspect of NAT hurt more: the technical side or the
business side.

I'm pretty sure the acceptance of NAT varies regionally.  I think
there's a large ISP in Italy which has been doing NAT since the 90s.
So it's not just the mobile domain.

It can be tricky to introduce a new NATted product and compete with
established players which do not NAT, though.
