IPv4 hurts innovation by basically charging for numbers more than an administrative fee hindering newcomers to enter the market. Everybody suffers a little because of the networking effect. However, IPv4 seems to be a pain for the big companies too. Some, like e.g. Facebook are really pushing it.
With the supposedly "top tier talent" why does e.g. Azure have such a bad IPv6 implementation? Why is Cloudflare or big parts of GitHub IPv4-only? Isn't that meant for developers? What about e.g. Twitter?
The biggest problem is not the infrastructure. All the important programs like DNS servers, operating systems and hardware do support IPv6 more or less for the last 10-15 years well enough. The problem is developers that are stuck in IPv4 mentally, doing GUI windows, that only accept IPv4, only testing on IPv4, specifying database columns to hold only IPv4 etc.
