I don't want to be rude, and I'll assume good faith. But it seems naive to think the syntax of an address would be the sticking point.
128 bit addresses, NDP, SLAAC, etc., there are many huge changes that I don't think syntactic sugar would have saved.
Maybe though? Perhaps it would have been doable but I simply don't know.
We, the world, should ha e legislated some of these standards. The fact that in 2022 I have to worry about if I will get a /60, /64 or /128 from an ISP is criminal. That I can't get a consumer router with prefix delegation available.
