IPv6 is great... the only problem is, that IPv4 has be patched enough with workarounds, to make IPv6 unecessary for most "normal users", and there is nothing to sell there.
Yes, a simple voice call might use STUN, through two nats, fail to puncture a hole, and then be proxied over a server somewhere, but "it works". Noone is willing to may 1$/€ more per month to get IPv6, noone really needs it, half of IoT doesn't support it (ahem, esp8266/32), it's costly to implement and costly to educate users (especially those, relying on nat for "security").
Most of the IPv6 progress is because the governments mandate it for many stuff, big cloud providers are running out of addresses to buy, vendors want to sell new routers and switches... basically, everybody except the users.
