The immediate issue and even that isn't a particularly big one as estimates seem to be fairly low is that there are machines out there which are misconfigured so they think they've got IPv6 access when they don't. The TCP/IP stack will favour IPv6 over IPv4 if it has the choice so they'll find dual stack servers to take forever to connect to.Go test your connection. You should score at minimum 7/10 for IPv4.

They have no more than a couple thousand endpoints on their network today, and almost nothing that really needs to be on a publicly routable address. I bet there's quite a few companies that grabbed a huge chunk back in the day, that could be forced or coerced to give most of theirs back.
