You are neglecting the most important reason, much to my own disdain. 
Service providers will continue to assign only a single IP address to 
residential users unless they pay an additional fee for additional 
addresses.  Since many residential users won't stand for an additional 
fee, pressure will be placed on CPE vendors to include v6 PAT in their 
devices.
