Google aren't subpoenaed
Perhaps this is the difference, some people are concerned with being anonymous from companies like google, amazon, etc. Some don't mind that, as long as they are anonymous from a government.
Your mention of subpoena suggests you don't care about google tracking you.
Google gets subpoenad all the fucking time. They have whole departments set up to handle the case load.

Sorry I meant to say google aren't subpoenaing
The people I want to protect my privacy from are google, facebook, amazon, they can't subpoena my IP, they can track me just fine though.
I was directly replying to someone saying they could subpoena the temporal owner of an IPv6 address, as though that were somehow different than IPv4.
The tracking is a moot point. You can be tracked using the same technologies whether you connect though v4 or v6, and neither stack has the advantage there.
IPv6 eliminates the possibility of proxies / VPNs. Being tracked simply by IP becomes non-optional.
This is factually wrong. I have a VPN between my VPC and my house so services can communicate securely without configuring each one separately with TLS.
Wat?
It, um. No, it doesn't do that. You can use proxies and VPNs in v6, and you're about as trackable by IP as you are on v4.
