Easy, India vs USA stats show that. India had an internet boom after exhaustion so its adoption is new hardware. USA's boom predates IPv6 so its mostly replaced.

India's visible adoption stats are over-represented by lte deployment. Lots of broadband providers still don't have ipv6 and some major ones deployed it very recently.

Lots of IPv6 growth is by new ISPs that don't have the IPv4 resources that legacy ISPs have, like Reliance Jio in India.
