Tried that.  There is no "killer feature" in IPv6, it's just plumbing
in a different colour.

And, to an application developer, dual-stack is lots of extra hassles...
so unless customers are making it a hard requirement (procurement
guidelines), it's much easier to just not bother and stick to IPv4-only.

(IPv6-only is similar to IPv4-only, but dual-stack, happy eyeballs, 
logging, filtering for v4 and v6, and all that is just extra nuisance)
