> In my experience not true in practice cause I have experienced way more issues with the IPv6 endpoints of sites than their IPv4 counterparts.

If you've ever visited a website from your smartphone (over 4G/5G), your first hop has in all likelihood been over IPv6. If you have visited a website from your phone that only had an A record then you probably went through a CG-NAT box, which added latency.

If you streamed a Youtube video to your phone, or checked Gmail, or Instagram or Facebook, then it was over IPv6.

People (including probably you) use IPv6 everyday, multiple times, without knowing it.
