One thing that might help is government regulation that any ISP using CGNAT must offer IPv6. Customers should get public IP address, single IPv4 or /64 IPv6.

Another would be that government customers need to have IPv6-enabled sites. This could get a lot of companies to add IPv6 hosting.

My understanding is they largely do. It's the ISPs that have enough IPv4 addresses that don't feel a need to upgrade, and the website operators who $3/server/month for an IPv4 address is a rounding error.
