It always sends me to sleep when IP enthusiasts lament the lack of adoption for IPv6.

It's obvious to anyone that looks at the two formats that any kind of hacky workaround like NAT gateways will be preferable indefinitely to actually adopting the monstrosity that is IPv6.

NAT is the monstrosity, not IPv6.

The real hacky workaround that we have adopted is just centralizing the whole internet in like 5 giant companies and making everyone else into passive consumers who can't even make a voice call to each other without giving some form of payment to a cloud giant.
