	so... you are asserting "extremely common" == "everyone"...
	i, for one, am unwilling to make that leap of faith.

	the NAT-capable boxes at my house have NAT turned off. the
	NAT-mandatory boxes I have purchased (and no doubt recorded
	as units sold) have been relegated to the e-waste bin....

	so as long as I am not using NAT (agressively at this point 
	in time) your statement that "everyone" is using NAT is 
	demonstrably false.
