It isn't "easy" but it isn't the fault of "v6" in most cases.
Put another way, the set of challenges facing the enterprise/production operator (the people who use that network to facilitate the delivery of a product ... either on the transmitting or receiving end of that delivery) is quite different from the set of challenges that face a pure network operator. And what seems so easy for one may not be so easy for the other. Dual stacking network gear is less of a problem than dual stacking hundreds or thousands of servers, special purpose appliances, software, etc. of different vendors, ages, and complexity.
