I've been working with IPv4 since 1993, back when getting a SLIP or PPP connection was uncommon. I set up my first IPv6 tunnel back in 2007. When properly configured, IPv6 is no more difficult to set up than a IPv4 connection with DHCP: It just works.

It's actually simpler than IPv4 in many respects. For example, prefix delegation: My router is getting an IPv6 /56 block from my ISP using DHCPv6. It is then handing out /64 blocks of on several different subnets with minor configuration.

The average user doesn't care about IP addresses. They're using DNS.
