I'd compare it with borrowing some money:

When you make NAT64 to reach from IPv6 to IPv4, you are borrowing the
money to build a new house.
When you make NAT444, you borrow the money to repay the debt you made
by borrowing the previous month.

Both are borrowing.

Depending on the circumstances you may need both.
