For me it's mostly been IoT type devices where you need to join the network of the device, and if I am lucky, it will have a captive portal to setup the device.

For me it's mostly been IoT type devices where you need to join the network of the device, and if I am lucky, it will have a captive portal to setup the device. This could still be V4 for the foreseeable future, however I see this as a problem in any level of communication. Just time yourself saying a full IPv4 address vs an IPv6 one, without a block of zeros, it's significantly longer and more error prone.
Your example of 8.8.8.8 is itself designed to be easy to communicate and enter, same with 1.1.1.1 and 9.9.9.9, etc. They exist because communicating an ISPs DNS server or a standard IPv4 address can be hard sometimes.
