Here’s the real reason we won’t move to IPv6: NAT is used as a security feature in IPv4. World isn’t willing to do the work to make that transition.
Even if you do decide to toss your router and connect directly to the internet it’s a lot less risky than it was in 1998 when Windows 95 didn’t have a firewall. I doubt IPv6 is going to make many people decide they want dumber gateway devices, however, since the cost differential hasn’t been meaningful for ages.
