Not OP, but with more and more IPv4 traffic behind CGNATs, IPv6 begins to be a much better experience. CGNATs tend to be massively overloaded, and as such accessing IPv4 Internet (especially CDNs for multimedia) will tend to result in low speed and dropped connections at peak hours.

This is the answer.

IPv6 was always about maintaining the status quo. It doesn't become "better" than IPv4 until CGNAT makes IPv4 worse. (Or if your internal network reaches the scaling limits of RFC1918.)
