How do you look at a chart showing Google access is 50% IPv6 and then proclaim that clearly NAT “won out”? In what world is 50% market share a loss?

Because all that usage is in one market space, mobile device only. Take mobile devices out of the picture and that graph would be through the floor.

Mobile and Telco ISPs are the only ones not issueing IPv4 addresses to their clients and this will never change.

Saying NAT 'Won Out' may have been a bit of a flippant overreacting statement which I apologise for, but IPv6 will never replace IPv4 outside of the mobile space and that was my core point I was (poorly) trying to make.
