I want static addresses on my LAN, and addresses I can remember and easily recognize in a list. And I don't want my devices to have unique addresses outside my LAN, especially not static ones. NAT is great.
You can statically number a LAN with fd00::/8 and NAT66 to the internet, if you really want to.
Heck you could set up a ULA or just use a range from your assigned prefix
Nothing stops you doing that with ipv6. NAT is complicated and unnecessary.
