If Google would announce that Chrome is dropping IPv4 support in n months, that would probably get things moving. ;)

I guess it would, but remember there are more services out there than just HTTP(S).
For example the last time I had an IPv6-only host I had issues cloning things from github, as "git clone git@github.com..." failed due to github.com not having IPv6 records.
A quick search revealed this open 3+ year old discussion - https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/10539
A quick workaround for that is to use one of the DNS servers from https://nat64.net/. There are also people running reverse proxies specifically for GitHub, e.g. https://danwin1210.de/github-ipv6-proxy.php.
(Ideally your ISP would be running NAT64 for you, especially if it's a VPS provider only giving you v6, but for whatever reason few of them do...)
You’re in luck, github is in the process of moving to azure!
Would have to be ChatGPT these days.
