Amazon is really not a great example, I don't think. The giant cloud providers are outliers with respect to DFZ announcements, as they have many, many POPs and also allow their customers to announce address space. They're more like transit networks at this point than what could be reasonably considered a representative end user.

More reasonable to look at announcements per AS, where it's currently about half of IPv4, but trending upwards at a faster pace.

So Amazon with its 3-fold ratio is in fact giving a better argument for ipv6 than the average, nice. Generally a factor of two doesn't say much about ipv6 creating less allocations at all, given how ipv6 is roughly within a factor of two in terms of adoption in general.
