Having your own CPE, having control on the firmware, allows you to deploy those new features when needed. Allows you to offer additional value-added services to the customers, etc. All that it is easily enabled with IPv6, not with IPv4.

Yes, the spec. has been around since 2016.

I still can't get IPv6 on the PS4 and it seems my investment in a 3D 
home TV is still waiting for the right year to kick off :-).

Equipment and software vendors were of similar mind when it came to 
UPnP. Ever since then, they seem to relegate cool RFC's to the library.

I'll hold my breath, though...
