The IPv6 "chickens and eggs" discussion could (and probably will) go on forever:

service provider -> no content
content provider -> no customers
manufacturers -> no content or customers

IPv6 is the right answer, but for all of the above it costs money to implement, with no return on investment (without everyone else doing their bit to progress its rollout). It's therefore not going to happen in a suitable timescale to avoid the necessity of 'propping-up' IPv4.

I don't like CGN, but the reality is that we're stuck with it.  On this basis, it's a case of looking for the least-problematic solution.

A dedicated, shared prefix (not from 1918) is the lowest risk for address conflicts, and easiest to manage and control.

By dragging their feet to the inevitable roll-out of v6 they checked
the demand for consumer electronics compatible with v6. If v6 connectivity
had been norm 6 years ago we'd have more v6-ready devices deployed today.

When the home router is reconfigured to not have the same prefix on
the inside as on the outside, connectivity will improve. It won't be
"Internet" (couldn't be without real addresses on all interfaces)
but something closely resembling it. A lot more satisfactory than the
unexplainable failure with identical addresses inside and out.
