It boils down to cost: who’s going to do all the engineering work to re-IP a business, and that without considering lost productivity.
6 is great for the backbone, to relieve the pressure on IPv4. But I have zero need of v6 inside my flat network with a handful of machines, or even in an SMB with perhaps a dozen machines and a few servers.
And that without worrying about app compatibility with v6, maybe tomorrow I need to use something that only works on v4.
It helps in situations like you’re trying to use a p2p program and your ISP uses a NAT.
I really wish I could run ipv6 only at home, but due to a variety of factors, I just can’t. Lacking support for it is actually the least of my problems.
One way for companies to adopt IPv6 would be to increase taxes on IPv4 and offer tax incentives to those with IPv6.
V7 should not have so many sortent ways if expressing the same address.
