And the process to make both eyeballs and content available on IPv6 is a
spontaneous one. We ought to consciously acknowledge this fact.

I never disagreed with that statement.

One can argue that the introduction of IPv4 transfer markets just ensured
the process to migrate to IPv6 become a joke.

So now we have folks with capital spending most of their energy moving IPv4
address space all over the place since its a currency that ensures serious
economic benefits.

Amazon (AWS) and Microsoft (Azure) and others alike for instance have been
buying so much IPv4 space in recent years from this transfer markets.

One also just cant force eyeballs all over the place to deploy IPv6 unless
content folks went full regalia and made content only available on IPv6
while risking IPv4 revenue.

Atleast this is how I see it. Capitalism at its best.
