Ain't that the truth. Modern operating systems are getting worse by the year.
That said, IPv6 has been significantly altered. SLAAC was fixed with two RFCs, one a decade IPv6 was designed, and another in 2015 for fixing oversights in duplicate address detection. DHCPv6 got updated with all kinds of options and it was already late to the party. RDDNS got added in 2007 and updated with more options in 2017. IPv6 Privacy Extensions got added when people brought up the privacy issues with SLAAC. People set up their own weird 4-to-6 translation mechanisms so various standards were introduced to cover any use case you may need.
IPv6 as it was originally designed is practically unusuable today. The trails have since been adjusted and the hungry mountains lions are gone. The hikers don't even notice the difference from their old paths.
However, park management decided that hikers should never go down the new and improved trail because they heard a story from their friend once that someone got lost there fifteen years ago, and some of them have lost the map to the start of the trail.
