These people are neither competent nor serious.
In the real world, people who design and operate large networks are the very same people who staffed the working groups who designed IPv6. It's their design.

E.g.: If I want to deploy a cloud VPC (or vNET), then I have to go find "the guy with the spreadsheet" and peel off a tiny(!) private IPv4 address space. If he's away from his desk or on holidays, my 1-minute automation script will now take 1-10 working days until he's back and responding to requests. With IPv6 this just disappears as a bottleneck.
This is not the kind of glowing endorsement you think it is, if you're expecting your technology to see widespread adoption
