Dual-stack with a public IPv4 address is by far a preferable way to access the v4 internet than being stuck behind a provider NAT64 box.

Totally understand why carriers may want IPv6 mostly and a v4-free core. But as an end user dual stack just seems simpler.

Providers can do v6-only in their core while still providing public v4 to users. SIIT if they can still afford a public IP per customer, and MAP-T if they can’t.
