There are plenty of benefits and/or use-cases for having each internet connected device have it's own unique address. If not just for nonrepudiation, the elimination of NAT hardware and complexities is a plus as well.

If you're not talking about security, maybe you should be?

How big of an security issue is the NAT hardware and complexity? And is it not absolutely dwarfed by ipv6 hardware+configure complexity? (not to mention maturity).
