I agree with you, but unfortunately it seems big tech can already scrape people's data without permission and without paying license fees.

"can" is different from "do" - they do scrape our data without permission, but it doesn't mean they can (are morally correct in doing so)

“do” imply “can”, but “can” do not imply “do”.

Even without NAT, the same hole punching techniques must be used for IPv6 since there is usually a firewall blocking inbound traffic. Only in CGNAT type scenarios where the network behind NAT is still "WAN" will be helped by IPv6.


This point applied to normal NAT as well as CGNAT specifically.

And hole punching gets a lot simpler when you’re behind NAT since you don’t need any kind of rendezvous server to determine port mappings.

In other words, IPv6 does help substantially—the same hole punching techniques are not needed.
