Why are NAT VPS becoming more popular?

There was a time when the only provider of the NAT VPS was Ant @ OLD LES website but now there seem to be uncountable number of hosting providers offering NAT VPS, usually with 20+ ports of shared IPv4 + IPv6.
What do you think are the reasons behind popularity of NAT IPv4 + IPv6 VPS in the recent times?
Scarcity of IPv4 and increasing adoption of IPv6, more affordable pricing, suitability for certain development environments, testing, hobby projects etc might be some of the contributing factors but I would like hear opinion of other members including hosting providers on this. Would also like to hear opinion of one of the pioneers of NAT VPS @AnthonySmith if he wishes to chime in.
