It is so disappointing to have people who allegedly work with networks and technology act like IPv6 is too much for their delicate sensibilities. From thinking it is more complex than IPv4 (it is in fact simpler), to thinking that NAT is a security measure (the firewall is and routers have an IPv6 firewall on by default), to thinking there are no benefits (the benefits are clearly there), to thinking nobody uses it (loads of mobile devices access the web via IPv6 and lots of enterprise networks are IPv6), and so on, it is anti-curiosity and anti-hacker ethos. Go ask your favorite LLM how it works if you can’t be bothered to Google it but if you start your comment with “it has no use cases” or “it is too complicated” you are just outing yourself as ignorant on this subject.
