They just require a software update and since they are subject to compulsory automatic software updates in order to be useable online anyway, that's a non-issue.
Still, NAT is already standard on ISPs in many countries, and on *all* mobile ISPs in the UK. Most educational establishments also use NAT as do halls, student residences, etc.
I would say, in fact, that consumer ISPs providing routable IPv4 addresses are the exception from the norm. The vast majority of internet providers and internet devices use NAT - coffee shops, hotels, airports, libraries, schools, universities, mobile providers, phones, smartmeters, small/medium businesses, trains, underground, etc. - all predominately provide NAT'd connections to the end user.
