IPv6 suffers the classic "we didn't think of thaaaaat" syndrome.

We will probably use IPv4 for decades more. It's going to be even slower with constrained semiconductor pipeline.

That's why we have squatters and expensive IPv4 blocks.

But I think we would also be in that situation if it were just IPv4-but-bigger. The main problem is incentives, and they wouldn't change through that.
