How does IPv4 prevent shitty ISPs from existing?

I don't think I ever claimed that.
But shitty or not, you have to somehow convince them, incentivise them to deploy ipv6.
Most ISP I have seen implement it like this. A large chunk of those "most" also require you to bind a phone number to each separate hwaddr appearing in the network via SMS. (Not all though.)
Those few that implement it differently, do the following:
They serve ULAs to the customers over slaac, and nat6 all the ULAs to a single ipv6 assigned to the router (actually a wifi hotspot).
I totally believe that where you live things are done differently, but this is exactly why ipv6 critics call it defective. It allows too large a variety in implementations.
