That's interesting. I've been tethering for years using Android phones, and using a 4G standalone router. I've never seen a client be allocated any IPv6 address in either case. I know the phone gets one for itself, but I don't think the router does. Looking at the phone's IP address status, it is given a non-public IPv4 by the mobile network (so CGNAT if it uses it), and what looks like a single IPv6 by the mobile network.
