How do you propose we add more IPv4? Not to mention that the IPv6 protocols are less complex than IPv4 - as they were designed after the "natural" evolution of IPv4 concluded.

One could have made an overlay network on top of IPv4, where applications (and/or operating networking stacks) could have been aware of how to manipulate the data. Majorly more kludgy, but feasible. A number of real IPv4 addresses would have been allocated to serve as gateways/proxies to access the new IPv666 network.

That sounds a lot like TRT; NAT64 seems to have been more successful. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_transition_mechanism for all of the various flavors of mixing ipv6 and ipv4.
