I believe that should be the > focus of applications people. apps people can develop attractive apps that might induce people to use v6 instead of v4 where NATs are required. but making it more attractive to not buy a NAT than to buy one probably needs to address the reasons people buy NATs in the first place - address shortage, avoiding the need to renumber, the illusion of security, packaging. people are going to continue to want to buy NATs until these problems are solved by other, better means. it's not clear what apps people can to do address these things, except perhaps to make apps more secure.
