My ISP is only a few years old, but they don't support IPv6 at all. And when I complain about it to support, their response is basically "we don't see the point".

Practically everything on IPv6 also has a IPv4 address you can use instead. Adding IPv6 just adds more that can go wrong.
Sure, but if they're a new ISP, chances are they have a hard time getting IPv4 and they likely run CGNAT. If they run CGNAT, the benefit of IPv6 is there's a lot of high volume traffic that will move to v6 and the CGNAT use will be smaller. Routing v6 packets is much easier than tracking connection states and munging packets...
If they have enough v4 for all their customers, sure fine.
It's not just that the ISP will lower their costs for CGNAT, the users will also get a much better experience.
On IPv4 with CGNAT you get blocked and sent millions of captchas because you are sharing an IP with 5 IoT devices actively running a botnet.
On v6 you don’t have that problem.
