Because IPv6 and IPsec were designed for the Internet.

See, for example, RFC1825 saying:

   Widespread deployment and use of IP security will require an
   Internet-standard scalable key management protocol.

If it were possible to have a universal PKI over the Internet,
IPsec could have succeeded and IPv6 security myths could have
been real.

However, the reality is that there can be no such thing as
a universal PKI.

Note again that ICMPv6 messages were considered to be
authenticated by IPsec through the hypothetical universal PKI.
