I firmly believe IPv6 adoption is hindered by one little reason more than any other: i can't easily remember an ipv6 address. Its too big, its in hex, and that adds friction to everything. With v4 i can just look at an ip, remember it for a second and type it into whatever config/program/etc i need. I can tell a colleague across the room "that ip is:...". I know there's the condensed address format, but that just makes communicating it harder. Typo `::` as `:`? Now you have a problem that's not easy to see.

Its a small friction, but it adds up quickly and makes working with ipv6 feel sluggish and painful.

(A common response when i say this is "isn't that what DNS is for?" and yes, it is. That's great once you have DNS and reverse DNS working, but "its always dns" is a meme for a reason).
