But without NAT you have pretty big chance to have the same IPv6
*suffix* everywhere, based on you MAC address. In your Home, your Work,
in a Cafe or in a hotel during your vacations in Portugal. So yes, NAT
is not a perfect solution but it really helps you privacy.
Good point, but we can change MAC address (use a random one) on most
NIC, cant we ?
Sure, but the problem is that you first need to know that you should do 
it and you need to be able to do it - think of cell phones, tablets, etc.
