As with the original adoption of NAT, it will be slightly bumpy at first.

The key difference here is that the NAT is now outside the users control, and if they want to fool around with anything funky and put it on the public internet (like a new Tim Berners Lee making a new World Wide Web) he wont be in a capacity to do so anymore. Ooops.

The old internet let people invent things and publish it as they saw fit. And that's why the internet we have now is awesome.

This new internet you are describing lets people apply for permissions to publish thing. That sounds like the exact opposite of what the internet was designed to do and what was required for the internet we have today to evolve.

It is a very short-sighted strategy pushed forward by people to lazy to read up on IPv6 and see how simple it really is. It's not earth-shatteringly different. The bigger, as by design, and that's about it.
