I know that. But it doesn't solve the problem of people needing to continue buying ipv4 to serve new customers.

  It sure does from some threshold. Given enough users on v6, the question becomes "do we want to spend $X to reach Y% more people". For most companies there's high enough X and low enough Y where they will not bother. This already happens with browsers: sure, there's that one guy still visiting from windows xp - but we don't care he gets a completely broken website.

    It is still cheaper on a 10y timeframe to buy ipv4 than it is to pay for a NAT box for ipv4 and to deploy ipv6 and run both.

      Depends on a scale. How many addresses? And will you even get them anymore? Not to far away it will become problematic to even get approved for residential usage, so the choice will be Nat for ipv4 or a 6->4 gateway.

        I just got approved to buy another /20 at $40 each. I am sure Amazon is buying them and putting them on AWS stuff as well.
