Even if ISPs aren't dragging their feed, the home routers are lacking a giant amount of features on IPv6 stack, which are still needed even for basic users.

E.g.: - My Mikrotik will not to any kind of routing acceleration for IPv6 so throughput on GBit FTTH (which is standard offering here) will be significantly slower.

- There's no way to autoconfigure firewall (so no UPnP-like technology to enable voice calls and gaming).

- There's no way to statically assign addresses or autoconfigure firewall for automatically configured ones.

- There's no builtin way to push your own DNS to configure things like pihole.

So even a "simple" techy guy setup where you have a home NAS and a few machines that need to drill holes through the firewall is almost completely impossible on pretty much any router affordable for home use.
