I don’t think you have Stockholm syndrome. You just like what you already understand well. It’s a normal part of the human condition.

All those features of nat also work with IPV6 with no nat in the exact same way. When I want to open up a port I just make a new firewall rule. Plus you get the advantages of being able to address the ach host behind the firewall. It’s a huge win with no losses.
