REALLY??? I mean REALLY? people that operate networks haven't haven't had beaten into their heads: 1) cgn is expensive 2) there is no more ipv4 (not large amounts for large deployments of new thingies) 3) there really isn't much else except the internet for global networking and reachabilty 4) ipv6 'works' on almost all gear you'd deploy in your network

Yes. I had a member of an account team for a networking vendor express extreme skepticism when discussing IP address plans and work I had done. When describing why I went with an IPv6 only solution for this setup, he responded, "Why not just get more IPv4 addresses? Just go back to IANA[sic] for more if you don't have enough already."
OK, maybe it's not *just* marketing, but marketing (using the term broadly) is still a very large part of it.
your example sounds like ignorance, not marketing.
