All that I’m saying is that the marketplace is not convinced that IPv6 works better for a local network than IPv4 with NAT and DHCP.

It’s more secure and more private for users that aren’t security or network engineers.

My prosumer $1,000 networking setup isn’t sufficient to run certificates and IPv6 firewall the way you’ve described and I don’t feel qualified to setup what you are suggesting. I can get a $50 router and setup a reasonably secure IPv4 with NAT and DHCP in 15 minutes.

My several-year-old Asus AC68 does IPv6 (my previous ISP had it), (Open)VPNing:

and Let's Encrypt:

Just because you're not qualified does not mean it wouldn't be handy to those who are, but not-high IPv6 adoption is hampering them. Further, some of this would currently have to be done manually (mostly the cert provisioning: IPsec/IKEv2 can otherwise be fairly automated), but if there was more uptake there's no reason it couldn't be more automatic.
