Because the ISPs at the same time do provide tools to configure them for IPv4, and they're the ones boasting about connecting « everyone » to IPv6..?

Otherwise, this is more hearsay from discussions about this on technical ISP forums, I wanted to look more into this, but I'm waiting until my ISP gives me more than a single /64, and with proper router support (so I can easily do things like host my server separate from my home network).

My point was more "The tools they provide for IPv4 are crap, so wouldn't you expect the tools for IPv6 to be crap too?" with a side helping of "Just because they don't show you any (good) UI doesn't mean it doesn't exist". I agree that ISP-provided routers suck for both IPv4 and IPv6 configurability, maybe a bit worse for IPv6, but in my experience I've never seen one that both enables IPv6 by default and allows inbound traffic.
