I strongly disagree that IPv6 is very much an afterthought. A perfect example is that in Australia, our largest mobile network provider Telstra, has completely moved to IPv6 single-stack on their mobile network for pre-paid and post-paid customers. Russell Langton made the announcement in February 2020 that Telstra was making the transition and they have since completed this transition. T-Mobile US also went single-stack back in 2014. India, with a population of 1.43 billion people (accounting for 17% of the world's population, sits at 81.24% capable, 80.71% preferred. With a global rate of 36.49% IPv6 capable and 35.61% IPv6 preferred, we still have a long way to go however our current achievements to-date should be commended.

Because of low entropy of A-B pairs in bps volume, seeing massive amounts of IPv6 in IPv6 enabled networks is not indicative of IPv6 success. I don't disagree with your assertion, I just think it's damaging, because readers without context will form an idea that things are going smoothly. We should rightly be in panic mode and forget all the IPv4 extension crap and start thinking how do we ensure IPv6 happens and how do we ensure we get back to single stack Internet.
IPv6 is very much an afterthought, a 2nd class citizen today. You can deploy new features and software without IPv6, and it's fine. IPv6 can be broken, and it's not an all-hands-on-deck problem, no one is calling.
