> No sound company today will launch its services in IPv4 only

There are a whole lot of "sound" companies using AWS, which has extremely limited (and in many cases nonexistent) IPv6 support.

Terminating the IPv6 connections in the load balancers is technically pretty primitive but covering "just" the IPv6 web clients in this way is adequate for most people using AWS. Here's eg Netflix on the subject (from 2012): http://techblog.netflix.com/2012/07/enabling-support-for-ipv...

Except that only works in Classic and not VPC.

In practice, IPv6 isn't supported on AWS. See for example:

I see. Well, that sucks.
