I think there's a big difference between enterprise IT folks who can specify hardware with good IPv6 support, and which are able to switch internet providers if they don't support IPv6 well.
It's entirely a different thing for home users which get handed some shitty router from the only ISP around.
My options are cable or long-distance ADSL. The cable ISP has dynamic prefix, so I get a new prefix every week or so. If you contact them regarding IPv6 there's zero support, I had to find the prefix length by trial and error.
So much software relies on the prefix being fixed, so this can lead to a lot of frustration. On the bright side I actually get a prefix, some just get a /64.
IPv6 might not be hard, but using IPv6 might indeed be hard.
