But no one has pushed.

Consumer routers still suck regarding IPv6. Last time I tried setting up IPv6 on my wan I got a /128 which is utterly incompetent.

No service wants to cut off access to the ipv4 customers so they've made things just work. We have only recently hit address exhaustion (relative to IPv6 age).

No one wants to jump first and there is no government mandate for support.

I don't know who you think the big boys are, but it's not like Google or Meta have throttled ipv4 services or put banners on their site warning users they are on a legacy protocol.

A /128 on the WAN is normal. Addresses assigned by DHCPv6 (which is commonly used by ISPs for WAN address assignment) are assigned as /128.

The important part is the delegated prefix, which you normally get via DHCPv6-PD and should be at least a /56.
