Outdated beliefs probably. When I talk about v6 support in our b2b saas, PM laughs and says nobody uses that shit. Big tech are massive laggards on this funnily enough.

Nobody except the 140M subscribers on T-Mobile US's network:

But sure, be IPv4-only and add latency by forcing traffic through an extra translation box.

It's because big tech is USA based mostly, where there's still a glut of ipv4 available.

Definitely not for the biggest ones. Google and Meta have so many machines in their data centers that IPv6 addressing becomes a technical necessity due to the risk of exhausting the RFC 1918 address space. Naturally, they were early adopters of IPv6.
