mobile adoption is high, desktop (residential and corporate) is still quite low.

I'm a big advocate for github to add ipv6 support , but let's not pretend it's critical for their business.

Aren't there serveral hosts now where IPv6 access is included but you have to pay for each attached IPv4? E.g. AWS and Hetzner
Yep
just a few hours ago we found a pretty nice residential desktop use case for proper v6 (with prefix delegation), due to no need for NAT the old router (2013) became less of a bottleneck!
Double check (I mean by remote port scan) that your firewall is working. I’ve seen routers with no IPv6 firewall . And it actually matters
