> 3) Less importantly, CGNAT is a growing problem. If you have 10k (say) users on CGNAT that are compromised, it's likely that there's at least 1 on each CGNAT IP. This means you can't just null route compromised IPs as you are effectively null routing the entire ISP.

Null routing is usually applied to the targets of the attack, not the sources. If one of your IPs is getting attacked, you null route it, so upstream routers drop traffic instead of sending it to you.
