oh, but it has. Talking about issues, creating traction, usually helps. 
Just check the google stats for the percentage of users accessing google 
via IPv6:
Sep 2008: 0.04%,  May 2020: 30% . Then check the stats for Greece. 
Greece is at almost 50% and I can tell you why: We (main ISPs+Academia) 
created a task force and started presenting and educating (other SPs, 
Enterprises etc). I bet that countries with similar percentages followed 
a similar path.

What you're proposing is the end user's perspective and its fine. We're 
not just end users, we can influence things on a larger scale 
(sometimes, at least)
