> Literary, every modern ISP

This is either factually incorrect, or else you're using a definition of "modern" that excludes a substantial portion of real world isps.

It in fact excludes most ISPs in many countries.
To be precise this excludes 75% of all autonomous systems in the world, which is at least 75% of all ISPs plus those that connect to 25% of IPv6 capable autonomous systems, but still don't use IPv6. So we are talking like 80% of all ISPs in the world.
every ipv4 only isp is legacy, not modern

basically they are the edissons of electricity boom era when AC was becoming the new standard for power transfer

Not the truely Scottish ISPs. :>
yup, modern is a qualification meaning that they support current internet standards, not only legacy

as per internet standards/rfc’s IPv4 is a legacy protocol, so every ISP limiting it’s customers to only this veraion is not considered modern
