I'm changing my response. After getting my hotspot to give me IPv6 only, I tried to duplicate what you expected to see. And to my surprise, I did.

When I queried DNS for IPv4-only sites, I got IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. As recently as last month, I would get an empty result for those same queries (no IPs at all).

After 2 years of off/on attempts, T-Mobile IPv6 is (for the first time) working for me as you describe.

DNS resolved hostnames

[ed:Below is from memory, based on last month's results. It's from memory because when I 1st tested today, my hotspot gave me IPv4 (a thing it does ~30% of the time)]

TMobile's DNS servers give me an empty response to IPv4-only hostnames. When I'm in IPv6 only, there are a lot of sites I can't reach.
