Public IPs is a huge huge huge benefit. Your connection is also faster because your IPv6 packets don't have to be processed by a centralised CGNAT.

That's only if you are behind CGNAT though. My fixed ISP doesn't use it.

Even without CGNAT you'll only get one IPv4 address forcing a absurd amount of workarounds to be usable, that are mostly hidden in firmwares but sill there.

Yet.

Many ISPs are pushing v4 users into CGNAT so they're easier and cheaper to manage.

This is a big reason why Netflix and YouTube are on v6. To avoid the cost of service over v4.
