link local ipv6 can be deterministic (no more shuffling IPs around!) and no more silly dhcp services running on anaemic hardware. Ditto for NAT, where devices can reach v6 endpoints (though stateful firewalls should stick around!). Honestly, I really hate change. but ipv6 does have some upsides and rather than complicate things, embracing actually simplifies things. The issue is that we have a lot of sunk cost on how we bolt on shit to ipv4 to make it passable in the modern day, and we begrudge having to relearn what we think is solved.
