    it’s just never used or enabled in the software by default

    …and most people who own those devices have never heard of IPv6 and don’t know how to enable it. They just won’t be able to access your website. If Amazon dropped support for IPv4, there wouldn’t be anything i’d be able to do to deal with the fall out. I’m not going to send a technician to every single home of every customer I have. What I could (and would) do is move all my stuff off Amazon.

      this shouldnt be a.burden for users.

      you can simply update a device to support it by default.
