I understand the argument for enterprise networks. Residential customers have everything to gain from using their IPv6 space, and provider-independence isn't an issue for them.

It's worth noting that NPTv6 is a lot better than NAT, though. For one thing, it operates strictly at the IP level and doesn't muck about with the transport layer. So, for instance, if you want to use a transport other than TCP or UDP, it should be possible - at least in principle - even if you are NPTing to and from ULA space. That's something you haven't been effectively able to do on the Internet for the past 20 years.
