This is my point… That is why I think an announcement of “On X date, we will begin charging extra for IPv4 services and define Internet Access to be IPv6” by a couple of the larger eyeball ISPs would light a pretty big fire under those laggards.
You mean like: https://docs.hetzner.com/general/others/ipv4-pricing/ ?
yes, a /24 was 0 setup, now now close to 5000 of currency.... and the monthly fee also doubled. Noting that 20 for an IPv4 IP is effectively quite cheap with current prices going towards 50+...
There are thus already a few places that are doing the squish....

Yes, but it needs to come from a major eyeball ISP to be the motivating factor that we need here. A minor virtual server host isn’t going to do it.
"minor virtual server host". I think you are underestimating things... https://bgp.he.net/AS24940 + AS213230 That is not a toy network... but hey, I guess 'everything is bigger' on the other side of the big old lake eh. I am sure, considering the news and rumors, that that pricing change made, that it made an impact at a lot of companies, that things are changing, and that is a win for IPv6... But hey, YMMV.
