I’ll concede that IPv6 has usefulness on the public Internet, where adoption is actually gaining nicely. No issues there really.
However, my comparison is end-user focused (ie. the Linux desktop experience). I should have been more clear about the scope perhaps.
Both IPv6 and Wayland have increased complexity and surface area for pain (cost) without an obvious benefit for the end-user.
Also: wrt IPv6 specifically, I don’t believe every device on a private network should be publicly addressable/routable. To me that’s a bug, not a feature, and again does not serve the consumer, only the producer.
