  Those solutions are still very useful for all sorts of reasons, they wouldn't be going anywhere. (in fact, going by my own experience/situation with a high quality ISP, I actually end up using more of these services!) But new business models do open up: A lot of functionality now needs to have some sort of cloud backing to be able to guarantee some level of 'Just Works'. Imagine regular muggles being able to install stuff at home, which Just Works, doesn't need a central cloud service, doesn't invade your privacy, and continues to work even when the original manufacturer shuts down. Right now really only specialists who know what to ask for can do that, and not all ISPs even have the option.

Most of those central services are built on the premise it's difficult for most people to open up internal network ports. That's just as difficult for IPv6 without NAT: my IPv6 capable router defaults to all ports closed which is good security practice. Regular muggles don't update anything ever so if the manufacturer shuts down there's an open security hole on their network.
