Comcast uses DOCSIS and provides native IPv6. I think reasons are not technical - ISP needs to invest money to deploy IPv6 and ROI is not always > 1 for now.

What about the shared medium nature of DOCSIS? Do they share some infrastructure with the other cable ISPs or are these usually separate?

Usually this provider is very progressive [1][2][3] and because of these positive impressions I did not suspect them to hold back the cable IPv6 rollout due to financial reasons. According to [4] they even provide OpenWRT instructions for their native IPv6 and only their cable users are left without native IPv6. :(
