It seems more the other end of the stick: the IPv4 side of the graph is mainly held up due to corporations. The consumer internet continues to switch, but corporate VPNs are going to continue to drag down the numbers until corporations get charged enough for IPv4 address space that bottom lines start to notice.
Yes good point, I agree that IPv4 addresses are going to become a commodity in the future and their value will start to increase dramatically to the point where it is only corporations which can afford to use them. IPv6 use may well start to spike again if that happens.
