I think the western world very much revolves around:
* The internet
* Linux servers
* Automation
I get your point, but it falls on deaf ears to me since most people don’t feel the benefits until some passionate nerd makes something that scratches an itch.
For a practical example: peer-to-peer sharing like Airdrop is much easier to implement in a world with ipv6.
The world at large doesn't care what I love, correct. But my users care about whether they have to remember that they're supposed to use port bla instead of the standard port foo, which is a common scenario with v4. Not enough addresses, and / or you can't get them to the VM or container or VPN client or whatever that needs them.
IPv6 can often fix these kinds of issues.
Does the world at large care? No.
Do I care? Yes.
Do my users care? Yes, albeit indirectly.
Does my organization care? Yes, in the sense that it removes friction from what it needs the employees to do.
And that's all the justification that's needed, I'd say.
The world very clearly doesn't need to revolve around what I love for IPv6 to be a good thing.
The world very clearly doesn’t revolve around what HN users “love”.

And without firewalls. Unfortunately this world does not exist.
According to my last job interview, linux servers are only for websites and worthless otherwise.
