Actually there are a couple very compelling reasons why PAT will probably be implemented for IPv6:
You are neglecting the most important reason, much to my own disdain. Service providers will continue to assign only a single IP address to residential users unless they pay an additional fee for additional addresses.
How do you know - have you asked 100% of the service providers out there and they've said unanimously that they're only going to supply a single IPv6 address?
Since many residential users won't stand for an additional fee, pressure will be placed on CPE vendors to include v6 PAT in their devices.
