Half the reason AWS has leading IPv6 support in the first place is due to mandates from the US government to start migrating. Author is correct that, from a cost perspective, the new costs are immaterial to large customers, but I wouldn't discount the power of policy mandates from the largest customers, where the threat of building an in-house alternative to comply with policy might be sufficient to force AWS to finally prioritize support.

Indeed. I really don't like the thought, but I more and more believe that there is no other way to incentivize IPv6 at the "server side". The client (end user) side seems to do well, considering that Google reports IPv6 end user traffic of almost 50% these days.

That's because all mobile data connections are on IPv6
