Yeah, they don't even have a practical way to implement a firewall instance for IPv6. Unless you want to mirror 1:many NAT for IPv6 like you do IPv4. You just can't route an IPv6 block to an instance. And with 1:many NAT you wouldn't want public IP addresses inside but AWS doesn't let you assign ULA addresses inside the subnet, only global addresses.
I stand corrected on this. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/inspect-subnet-to-subnet-traffic-with-amazo... https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-vpc-ingress-routing-simplifying-integra... This technique does in fact work for IPv6, allowing you to insert a firewall at the edge. Interestingly though, it won't receive IPv6 packets for an address that isn't attached to a running instance in the interior subnet.
