Yes, it shows how shameful the whole IPv6 design and rollout procedures were.

They aren't still accepting it was designed too early and thereby it didn't take into account consumer networks, SOHO, and even some SMBs needs - networks which didn't exist then. It couldn't envision some security and privacy issues.

And most of its implementation is handled like IPv4 despite IPv6 being more complex, with very little help from devices software even if it became far more powerful than it was in 1996.

So no surprise that shame breaks a lot of things - it requires a great deal of work to make it operative, and not everybody has the skills for an easy transition. In turn, less endpoints using it, less reason for even the bigger ones to move.

Complaining why people don't switch just because it shines more, instead of addressing the issues, it's shameful as well.
