I love it when people make this argument. The IPv6 adoption hurdle is NOT the usability of v6 addresses. 99% of the world thinks that IPv4 addresses are a horrorshow and would never bother to memorize one or even write one down. They use DNS because they are human beings. The layout of the address behind the DNS they couldn't care less about.

I think you are right, now it would be somehow hard to deny the fact that ipv4 addresses were possible to memorize, ipv6's, quite a bit less so. I agree that it's a non-issue 99% of the time, and the overwhelming majority of lambda users will use DNS anyways - that said, when you don't have DNS, are a sysadmin/engineer or what not, you do feel the pain sometimes :)
