Increased margins for AWS as the shortage of public IPv4 makes the price per IP more and more expensive. You may also save a few $ per year.

I doubt it. They still default to giving an EC2 machine a public IPv4; if their primary motivation would be saving IP costs, they could easily go for the low-hanging fruit.

EC2 is not really low hanging fruit. Most expect to get a ipv4 when creating an instance and many relies on that. Cheaper instances with ipv6 only is probably coming

That's very likely. Hetzner already offers cheaper ipv6-only dedicated servers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29471986

EC2 is their oldest service; I bet it has oodles of legacy workflows both on Amazon's side and on customers' side. Lambda is likely a much lower hanging fruit in terms of the effort required to make changes to it.

To be pedantic, SNS is their oldest service, if I remember my AWS training correctly.

You are thinking of SQS, the preview version of which was the first to be introduced. S3 was the first non-preview service made generally available.

Correct - you know your AWS launch history!

The number of deployed lambdas likely exceeds the number of ec2 instances by many multiples (pure conjecture). It's a perfect use-case for v6 - dual stack in front and then v6 internally.
