First, nothing is common for consumer IPv6 routers, they're practically non-existent.

Second, you get the same security benefits by having a firewall that denies outbound connections not already established.

I bought an IPv6 router 3-4 years ago.
Most people don't buy routers, they are given them by their ISPs. My parents switched ISP at the start of the year and were given a 5 year old modem/router.
You're also on Hacker News. They have been available for a long time, but they're firmly a techie/early adopter product.
In many countries the ISP supplies the router. I've had IPv6 capable routers for years and years in Britain, but it's only in the last 2 years or so that the IPv6 address has been assigned by the ISP.
