It's been a steady linear increase for the past three years, now over 30%.
Interestingly, zoom in to 2020, and you'll see the effect of the coronavirus lockdown--all those home workers and people in self-isolation on IPv6 rather than on IPv4-only work networks.
With the increase in dependence upon cloud computing and containers, I believe that one of the big blockers today is the poor support for IPv6 by cloud providers and by docker and other virtualisation/container systems. Their lack of IPv6 support is what precludes wider adoption on client systems and internally in companies. Pervasive IPv6 support would be reason to use it, but right now it's a hindrance.
