What's sad about so many major services failing to get IPv6 going is that other service providers who are considered lesser have managed it without much issue, and every single person I know who works in tech has IPv6 dual stack networks at their home. IPv6 seems to have more residential service penetration in the US than it does in commercial/provider space. Neither GCP nor AWS correctly support IPv6 dual stack across their entire portfolio, yet has-beens like Rackspace Cloud had it working on OpenStack over a decade ago.
The point I'm making is that getting IPv6 dual stack networks in place where you have existing IPv4 connectivity /really/ isn't that hard. Organizations make it difficult, rather than it being intrinsically difficult, and it's only gotten easier as time has gone on and early adopters have paved the way. Hell I've got dual stack IPv6 set up on my Digital Ocean droplets without any issues and all their services correctly support dual stack configurations... what's the story with Google and Amazon?
