Perception of what they are for and how they work is different. Otherwise they are just as bad as NAT - this is why they were created and then depreciated. We need a better understanding of the real needs (not just those of "I have v4 NAT and want v6 NAT") and then see what the solution is to the actual need. Otherwise we are taking a solution and looking for a problem.
