The article uses gaming and IPSEC as examples but not, say, ad servers and "tech" company websites or other websites desperate to collect data. Interesting coincidence.
Nothing wrong with using IPv6 for peer-to-peer usage with people you trust. Look at CJDNS. However I generally have no desire to make any "tech" company middleman a peer, given their motivations, reputation and ethics.
As the parent suggests, IPv6 creates more work to prevent more exfiltration. It is already difficult enough with IPv4.
Could IPv6 fix a web infested with "tech" company intermediaries and return it to one where all participants can connect directly and if desired publish to audiences (without "tech" interplopers). That sort of proposal would make an interesting read for end users.
