I think this is the big hangup. Wanting to micromanage each and every address. Instead of letting it just manage itself. Reminds me on some level of the pet vs cattle of containers and servers. Mental switch is needed. And many are resistant towards this.
One thing I've noticed is if people have spent a long time learning something they are incredibly reluctant to switch to something that no longer requires that knowledge. It's like driving an automatic car when you've already learnt to drive manual. I see this pattern everywhere and people are definitely reluctant to give up their hard-earned v4 knowledge.
Remembering IP addresses... How quaint!
Sounds like me. My concern, if one just forgets everything, how does one know if their router, firewall, etc are too permissive? Security is still my responsibility.
And one still needs to pay attention for ipv4, so what is the benefit? A simultaneous half-vigilant, half-careless stance is not workable.
