I mean IPv4 addresses are “worth” around 50 USD a piece, so the whole address space is approaching a valuation of one trillion USD. This gets into conspiracy theory territory but I wonder if large organizations have a vested interest in keeping IPv6 adoption down, as they can rent out IPv4 addresses for a good price.
I’m pretty sure it’s not a large factor overall but it seems that economically it doesn’t make much sense for most existing actors to switch to IPv6 anytime soon.
