The data is correct — The top 5 players on that page do not have AAAA records 
published for their authoritative name servers (despot all being v6-capable for 
most or all of their content):


ryan@lion:~$ echo google.com facebook.com youtube.com yahoo.com wikipedia.org | 
xargs -n1 dig +short -t NS | xargs -n1 dig +short -t AAAA
ryan@lion:~$ 

(no results for the authoritative servers of all 5 domains)

ryan@lion:~$ echo google.com facebook.com youtube.com yahoo.com wikipedia.org | 
xargs -n1 dig +short -t NS | xargs -n1 dig +short -t A
216.239.34.10

208.80.154.238
ryan@lion:~$ 

(19 A record total results for the 5 domains in question)


The same query done together with host(1), excluding various MX responses, 
which would show v6 answers alongside the v4:
