Not to mention public cloud providers dragging their feet on implementing basic IPv6 functionality as if it was some sort of obscure feature instead of… the Internet protocol for the last two decades.

All the cloud providers I rent services from offer IPv6. It's only the really big ones that seem to be dragging their feet.

I suppose the multi-AZ stuff makes things more complicated, but my $5 VPS host had IPv6 like what, ten years ago?

This does have one small benefit: since none of the large cloud providers seem to do competent IPv6, you can avoid scanners, scrapers, and other log polluters on personal services by just hosting them on IPv6.
