Organizations I have worked with for IPv6 transition, reduced CAPex and OPex by leveraging the IT refresh cycle, and by ensuring there investment included leveraging the USGv6 (https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/usgv6-program) or IPv6Ready (https://www.ipv6ready.org/) to mitigate the "We sell IPv6 products, and want to you to pay for the debugging costs".

Can I assume other organizations don't leverage the IT refresh cycle?

That's a good one. Perhaps you don't live/work in the US and can be excused for not knowing that US corporations don't pay taxes. In many cases we subsidize them by giving tax credits to the point that the money is flowing in the opposite direction entirely. It would be hard to give them any more of a break ;)

Financial incentives also work. Perhaps we can convince Mr. Biden to give a .5%
tax cut to corporations that fully implement v6. That will create some bonus
targets.
