Most low-end providers will just keep using old hardware for longer.
IPv4 shortages didn’t kill it, and I don’t think this will either.

For providers like us, we have to lease IPv4. We came long after IPv4 was already depleted. IPv4 prices did go down. Despite that, the $15/year 128MB BuyVM plan is long-gone.
But for a new provider like us, we'd have to spend more than an established player like BuyVM or RackNerd who bought most of their servers pre-AI-boom.
Have you tried doing ipv6-only plans?
Vultr has one that's $2.5/month v6 only. Probably good if you just need something tiny to run some automation.

or just offer v4 HTTPS LB bundled. Never understood why more places didn't do this.

Exactly this. The old hardware from a year ago is fine as the typical use-case for a VPS didn't change.
