ELI5?

IP addresses ran out, IPv6 adds more addresses than we may need, ISPs decide to take away the user's ability to host servers (more or less (more less than more)) rather than upgrading the infrastructure

My take is they had to upgrade the infrastructure for CGNAT, why not just implement IPv6.
