IPv4 addresses are still expensive. NAT is a value add for a lot of cloud platforms.

IPv6 has arguably done more to counteract market forces related to IPv4 address exhaustion.

It's my dream that one day I'll be able to run an AWS VPC that only has IPv6 for the private subnets and then I'll never have to worry about managing the address space or how many IP addresses each ALB consumes.
