That's illustrates my point well - the "TRUE IPv6" philosophy is major changes in every network-facing user software.. that's why it has been 20+ years and it's not done yet.

And the justification of "Software is expecting public IPv6 address to be just reachable" is super silly. You have to be crazy in this day-and-age to operate without firewall. Every office, every home network should have "default-deny" policy from the internet. So no, your software should not expect to be reachable even once IPv6 adoption is complete.
