That's different. There are ways in which ipv4 is subjectively better than ipv6, and "the catastrophe of needing more addresses" has not really panned out yet.

Some people like that addresses must be masqueraded behind NAT. We've solved how to do p2p through that system.

The only way in which IPv4 is better than IPv6 is that many people understand one and not the other.
