I agree, but that has not happened, and several people have already raised reasons why this has not happened.
One of which is the ridiculous amount of IPv4 addresses historically assigned to some educational institutions by JISC :-) Public IPv4 addresses direct on PCs, Mobile Devices on Guest Wifi Networks, internal Printers.... I have seen this with my own eyes. I have worked with a number of Universities on the JISC network and none of the University IT teams were entertaining any kind of IPv6 deployment. They had no desire to learn it (which as you say is not rocket science) and no plans to implement.
