stupid question, wouldn't it be easier to just have sub addresses?

like my fictional ip address is 123.123.123

and I can set my router to give up to 1000 sub addresses, so one computer can host a Minecraft server at 123.123.123.001 I have another for my some projects, the projects ones each have sub addresses like 123.123.123.002.001 and 123.123 123.002.002...

a company could have countless layers and any amount of addresss they want.

and we're never going to run out of addresses.

Fuck whoever chose to make the acronym the same, but this is already possible by being a terrible person and sticking PAT behind traditional NAT

That's only $0.05 per person per year. Where do I sign up? /s
