NAT is, and has always been, an ugly hack. Why would anyone like it?

Doesn’t that mean private non-routable subnets like 10.x or 192.x have always been a hack?

Private addresses don’t necessitate NAT. IPv6 also allows private addresses in the form of fd00::/8, like fd00:face:b00b:1::1.

No, because there’s use cases for systems that aren’t connected to the internet. Also, public IPs can be dynamic, so you might not want to rely on them internally.
