Except for people. Specifically, wireline end users. Triply so if they're on Fiber.
ex: T-Mobile fiber rollout is IPv4-only and CGNAT.

I don't think so? Comcast is the largest ISP and fully supports IPv6, as does Spectrum and AT&T. All mobile carriers support IPv6, TMobile is IPv6-only. Starlink is IPv6 too.
The US is a bit over 50%.¹ I'd attribute any recent growth to Verizon finally deploying IPv6 on FiOS (after 2 decades). But I think that's going to be it for growth. Every wireline ISP who was at-all willing to deploy IPv6 has.
The rest of them are effectively IPv6-Never-Evers. Our 1 cable ISP (spectrum) offers it. None of our fiber providers do (Frontier, WideOpenWest, T-Mobile, Optyx, Evolution). Given how new fiber deployments seem to be IPv6-adverse, I wouldn't be surprised to see a bit of contraction over the next year or so.
I've posted elsewhere here that I'd relentlessly bugged my provider to deploy their IPv6. They have a /40 allocated. Or had. They just ditched it. Which I guess was their way of telling me to stop asking.

Conversely, their mobile network is the only 100% – or near 100% – IPv6.
Yes. For a while now. Actually to my detriment because TM hotspot users are usually IPv6 only. Which is a real issue for me. When I'm on a hotspot, my customers are unreachable to me. I can't VPN into them because 5 of 6 wireline ISP here are IPv4 only.
Are you trying to VPN directly to IP addresses instead of DNS names? Or using a custom DNS server? You should still have connectivity to IPv4 hosts, it's just that you need to translate the IPv4 addresses into their corresponding NAT64 IPv6 address (which is usually done for you by the T-Mobile DNS server)
