> I think this is a 20-year old argument, and it’s largely irrelevant in 2024.
It's not irrelevant - AWS lacks support for example in EKS or in ELB target groups, where it's actually vital [1]. GCE also lacks IPv6 for some services and you gotta pay extra [2]. Azure doesn't support IPv6-only at all, a fair few services don't support IPv6 [3].

The state of IPv6 is bloody ridiculous.
