What's horribly wasteful for IoT isn't IPv6, it's streaming my baby monitor video to some server in China because my home internet is behind CGNAT. Of course, streaming it to some server is more profitable since now you can charge money for access/storage, so there's no incentive to optimize for efficiency.
