The NAT firewalls do not like P2P UDP traffic. Majoritoy of the routers lack the smarts to passtrough QUIC correctly, they need to treat it the same as TCP essentially.

NAT is the devil. bring on the IPoc4lypse
Nat is massively useful for all sorts of reasons which has nothing to do with ip limitations.
sounds great but it fucks up P2P in residential connections, where it is mostly used due to ipv4 address conservation. You can still have nat in IPv6 but hopefully I won't have to deal with it

The NAT RPC talks purely about IP exhaustion.
What do you have in mind.

Rather, NAT is a bandage for all sorts of reasons besides IP exhaustion.
Example: Janky way to get return routing for traffic when you don't control enterprise routes.

NAT isn't dead with IPv6. ISPs assigning a /128 to your residential network is a thing.
No it isn't unless they want to ban you from using iPhones.

QUIC isn’t generally P2P though. Browsers don’t support NAT traversal for it.
