My "conspiracy theory" is IPv6's point to point connectivity is inconvenient to anyone except end users. And, rent-seekers can't extract money if the ranges aren't limited. American mind can't comprehend not rent-seeking any new invention.

Oh it's much more mundane.

IPv4 "works" and ISPs are incredibly resistant to changing things that "work".

Because support is needed basically end to end, it's going to take an ungodly amount of time for ISPs to figure this stuff out.

It's pretty frustrating having all my hardware support v6 with the only barrier being my ISP who refuses to support it in my location (they support it in other locations).

Except for people. Specifically, wireline end users. Triply so if they're on Fiber.

ex: T-Mobile fiber rollout is IPv4-only and CGNAT.

		I don't think so? Comcast is the largest ISP and fully supports IPv6, as does Spectrum and AT&T. All mobile carriers support IPv6, TMobile is IPv6-only. Starlink is IPv6 too.

		Conversely, their mobile network is the only 100% – or near 100% – IPv6.
