It wouldn't be very useful for your work computer, home computer, laptop, mobile phone and refrigerator to share the same IP-address through NAT. What if all the above needs to run a web server on port 80? Secondly, they all probably get IP connectivity from different providers, which makes it kind of difficult to let them share the same IP-address.

Secondly, NAT breaks a lot of useful stuff. I wouldn't call an internet connection behind NAT a proper internet connection. Specially if you don't control the router doing the NAT.

NAT is not the answer. NAT is just an ugly hack.
