Sure, but home users don't usually run servers. And even companies often use rendezvous services like LogMeIn or DropBox instead of dealing with DNS and portmapping.

IPv6 NAT

Home users very often run servers. They're part of their file-sharing "clients" (including BitTorrent), voice and video call programs, modern web browsers (that now or soon will support ConnectionPeer, <device>, WebSockets and whatnot), browser plugins and in general any P2P program.

For home users getting rid of NAT will be a huge step forward and open many new possibilities even for application that are usually considered unaffected by NAT, like browsers and websites.
