It's not that the reluctant user group doesn't like IPv6, they don't like change.

My public IPv4 is something like 14.63.323.85, private is 192.168.1.2 (others are .3, .4, etc), DNS is 1.1.1.1.

My public v6 would be like 2345:0425:2CA1:2020:1100:0567:5673:23b5, private is fc00::::903A:1C1A:E802:11E4, DNS 2606:4700:4700::1111 (don't forget those consecutive colons).

It's not that I don't like change, it's that I don't like changes that make things plainly worse for me.

As someone who runs an ipv6-only network, I can't tell you what my prefix is off the top of my head because it's irrelevant.

Change is about more than just "how many numbers do I have to remember".

The numbers are the only change that's visible to me as a user.
