> Every IPv6-aware device in the home will just request a unique address directly from the ISP No thanks, because unscrupulous ISPs will then start to charge people per device connected.

Well yeah, you'd have to buy IPs in blocks of, say 100. If you don't buy them from an ISP, you'd have to buy them from your local RIR in /48 blocks!

Some parts of the world have competition. So this issue shouldn't stop us globally from getting rid of routers at home.
