> IPv6 failed to reach the "boring, just works" level after 30 years of deployment.
/me glances over at my phone, which only has an IPv6 address when connected via cellular modem.
/me thinks back to the decade+ of incredibly boring IPv6 service from the residential ISPs I've used.
Sure.
If an ISP wants to provide only IPv6 addresses to CPE, they can set things up so that happens. But if you won't be satisfied until IPv4 no longer passes over the Internet, then you're going to die unhappy about that. The goal for our lifetime is one where every residential site has a global /56 and is behind IPv4 CGN, and servers hosted by commercial entities get to choose whether they assign IPv4 addresses, IPv6 addresses, or both to their servers.
