> I wish I could switch my network to all IPv6 and use NAT64/DNS64, but Android, the world's most popular OS, purposefully disables DHCPv6.

It does not "disable" DHCPv6. It does not support DHCPv6. Android (really Lorenzo Colitti) in/famously WONTFIX adding DHCPv6 client support:

Of course after over a decade of denying that Android needs some kind of DHCP in IPv6, it seems that Android may finally be getting some kind of solution:

Hopefully, having admitted (?) the error of their ways with being SLAAC-only they'll also add 'regular' DHCPv6 in addition to DHCPv6-PD.

Holy hell the android dhcpv6 situation is deranged. Been following Mr Colitti’s antics for awhile but only just learned of this prefix delegation news. So now I can delegate an entire subnet but can’t just have a regular address. Why oh why can’t we just have a goddamn normal every day dhcpv6 client like every other os on the planet
