Pretty insane that around 0.4% of all IPv4 addresses are wasted.
Wayyyyyy more than that is wasted.
Apple (and others) used to have an A class. I think they gave some of it back to the pool.

A few years ago my old university finally went with NAT instead of handing out public IPs to all servers, workstations and random wifi clients. (Yes, you got a public IP on the wifi. Behind a firewall, but still public.) I think they have a /16 and a few extra /24s in total.
Honestly there isn’t much reason to go with NAT unless you are looking to lease/sell IPs
The sad part is that almost no universities do IPv6
