Why should we care? So address space may run out eventually - that's our ISPs' problem.

Other than that I actually don't like every device to have a globally unique address - makes tracking even easier than fingerprinting.

That's also why my VPN provider recommends to disable IPv6 since they don't support it.

Because people in countries with ISPs that are unable to provide IPv4 (e.g. too expensive) can't access GitHub easily.
