> And lastly... a lot of IT guys still don't care for IPv6; as those biases show up in these & on Reddit; so that perpetuates the cycle

You know the 3rd and 7th largest networks on the internet still can't reach each other over IPv6, right? It is super awesome that it "just works" for you, but recognize you might just not have the perspective of one of the people who has to make it "just work" for you.

Who is responsible? Which networks are those?

Cogent and Hurricane Electric, the upstream providers of 31% and 17% of networks on the internet respectfully.

The reason as an end user you can access both sides of the spit is because network engineers for end user/eyeball networks will buy transit from both.

I’m sorry but how is cogents shitty business model somehow the fault of ipv6? Peering disputes happen on ipv4 as well

I think HE's been begging to peer to Cogent for years now. I've even seen cakes posted online.
