If this were a purely technical problem, we’d have been done more than a decade ago. The
problem is a lack of corporate “round tuits” which for each enterprise are in limited supply and
usually go to things that either reduce costs or increase revenue.

So long as they have public facing v6 servers is there really a problem? Sure you're not going to get to 100% deployment, but nothing is going to do that in any of our lifetimes. The object should be to not have to deploy tortured hacks like CGNAT. That is what success is IMO, and we don't from a technical standpoint.
