Having made this bold claim, have you ever actually tried to run a natted eyeball network? The last two natted eyeball networks I worked with could never figure out which aspect of NAT hurt more: the technical side or the business side.
I'm pretty sure the acceptance of NAT varies regionally. I think there's a large ISP in Italy which has been doing NAT since the 90s. So it's not just the mobile domain. It can be tricky to introduce a new NATted product and compete with established players which do not NAT, though.
