This is what I thought -- why would you neet Network Address Translation (NAT) when the address space is big enough to have everyone have an individual address?

This is what I thought -- why would you neet Network Address Translation (NAT) when the address space is big enough to have everyone have an individual address? No need to traverse a router, it just becomes another hop in the chain.
