From my POV, IPv6 overshot and tried to solve too many non-problems while addressing the only real issue with IPv4, the address space. That fact alone explains the relentless failure to adopt IPv6, because it’s not just a matter of adopting IPv6. Nearly every assumption about networking changes, all the tooling is different, and the risks and concerns are all changed. There was an easier path to follow, but we missed that chance 20 years ago, and now we’re likely stuck with a dual stack mess for the rest of our careers.
