> any consumer/home network will be exposed to the internet if they're using SOHO equipment via IPv6 and won't be via IPv4.

Only if the ISP does no egress filtering. Most mobile carriers I’ve used deny inbound connections.

I don't think "IPv6 is safe because ISP is blocking all your ingress traffic" is a positive argument for an IP standard that's supposed to enable every device to be routable on the internet without things like NAT.

(Also, why the fsck would I want to have an ISP that does that?)
