Really interesting how it spikes on weekends! I wonder if this is because more home broadband connections are ipv6-enabled compared to businesses?

Yea, ISPs are upgrading home users for them.. Businesses tend to have their own equipment, and need to DIY the change, even if IPv6 is pushed down the wire to them by the ISP.
Yes, but mobile phones even more so (e.g., the push to IPv6 in iOS 9: https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=05042016a)

I guess it's hobbyists who's normal internet connection is ipv4, but on the weekend they have time to dick around with ipv6 devices and connections.

Comcast and Verizon Wireless rolled out IPv6 years ago, and resolves IPv6 addresses first by default. Nobody is dicking around, it's just transparent.

How does that explain the massive spikes on weekends?

People do more internet at home on weekends than they do on weekdays.
possible i guess
do we see something similar with .onion addresses?
ive found it much more reliable and secure to give devices i want access to from anywhere a .onion address rather than a ipv6 one.
secure by design rather than plaintext insecure and only works on some internet connections occasionally by design nightmare that is ipv6.
