I agree that consumers don't and shouldn't need to care. when CGNAT starts causing support headaches, such as elsewhere in this thread, then perhaps the laggard ISPs might just possibly realise that it's costing them time and credibility to not support v6. I love a good car analogy. Most consumers don't understand E20 vs E10 vs E5, or ULEZ, but they will certainly complain to their car dealer/manufacturer if they get problems running their engines on the default fuel on sale. They may not care about emissions until they find themselves unable to access certain zones. Likewise, IPv6 won't matter to the end consumer until the lack of it hurts them.
