One can hope that someone will give the ISPs in my country a metaphorical hefty kick up the arse, especially as some of the more niche ones have been happily providing IPv6, and business customers can get IPv6, and of course other countries are happily embracing IPv6. So I wouldn't say never.
But the clear evidence is that past promises of it arriving at those major ISPs are very hollow indeed.
It's not the same with DNSSEC in the U.K., though. Many WWW hosting services (claim to) support that right now. And if anything, rather than there being years-old ineffective petition sites clamouring for IPv6 to be turned on, it is, even in 2025, the received wisdom to look to turning DNSSEC off in order to fix problems.

One has to roll one's eyes at how many times the-corporation-disables-the-thread-where-customers-repeatedly-ask-for-simple-moderen-stuff-for-10-years is the answer. It was the answer for Google Chrome not getting SRV lookup support. Although that was a mere 5 years.
