OK.. I'll bite.  What network design needs 40M endpoints and can't tolerate
partitioned networks?  There's eyeball networks out there that have that many
endpoints, but they end up partitioned behind multiple NAT boxes.

 
Why would you assume partitioning is an acceptable design constraint ?

I don’t think the cellular networks in the USA, each with over a 100M subscribers, wants their customers partitioned, and that is why the IMS / SIP on each modern phone is exclusively ipv6, afaik
