I'm ignorant on these things, so please inform me - but given IPv6's awful adoption rate, and given how foreign it's numbering scheme is to many, why can't we introduce IPv7 and just extend the IPv4 scheme with additional octets?

Something like 0.0.0.0.0.0.0 and everything without the correct number of octets just gets filled with zeros. So 192.168.0.1 becomes 0.0.0.0.192.168.0.1. Then also don't give out /8's to universities and the like (repeating old mistakes).

This is probably naive, but it seems it would be easier for people to use vs. 2661:919a:023e:911a:44dc:f656:233e:8816
