It means that instead of "1.2.3.4" you now have to deal with "f0fd::8a8a:99:::://4::88ff::deca:dead:beef::/16" or something like that, and remember how many colons go where and you now have to remember hex numbers instead of decimal.
What's the Google IPv4 DNS? 8.8.8.8. It's beautiful enough to be a decoration to frame and hang above a fireplace.
What's the Google IPv6 DNS? Heck if I can remember, it has some 4's, 6's, 8's, 0's, 2's, and some colons and double-colons liberally sprinkled like a salt shaker that had its cap fall off as you were shaking it.
I'm basically a walking DNS server of the company I work at, I know all the IPv4 addresses of pretty much every machine, and I couldn't do that with IPv6. I also know all the IPv4 addresses of every single IOT device in my home.
It's really no wonder that the world is very slow to transition to IPv6.
