At this point Google's refusal to implement DHCPv6 is well documented and is being brought up in a lot of arguments. Easy solution: if you need DHCPv6 you don't deploy Android devices and move on.

That's not how it works. For BYOD or home use, the device is always more important than the network. You can't just tell somebody "lol, Android not supported". Most of the phones out there are Androids, and not everyone prefers iOS even without the extra cost attached to an Apple phone.

Android devices are not optional in some parts of world with low iPhone adaption.

In my previous company of 250+ people only 2 had iphones.

It’s only easy if you don’t have to support Android devices. Often it’s not possible to do so.

DHCPv6 isn't mandatory to use IPv6, and SLAAC works fine in those cases (and neither are mandatory actually, can't be). This isn't related to IPv6 overall.
