Because until recently there was a widespread belief that we were stuck with NAT and might as well make the best of it, and that we couldn't make the best of it if we were criticizing it. Also there was a naive hope that NAT's problems could somehow be solved and that the internet could function without a coherent address space. Finally there was a NAT working group that worked hard to legitimize NAT (its charter notwithstanding), and the existence of this working group precluded any constructive effort to discourage NAT.
