As long as vendors continue to make huge money with Carrier Grade's
6-4 NAT, no, I don't necessarily agree.

Users do not care how they are connected. If an ISP is able to make
them reach IPv6-only sites (are there any relevant out there up to
now? I don't believe so) without changing their home router (which is
a major cost for the ISP), they won't have any big interest in that.

Indeed they are not, but should be put in the right prospective.
