There are huge gaps in ipv6 adoption which means most users and services must continue to support and use ipv4.

Since everyone has to continue ipv4 support, there's not much motivation to push general adoption of ipv6. Maintaining dual stack support has its own costs.

Even within AWS, many of their services still don't support ipv6. AWS fees for ipv4 addressing may end up being a comparatively big driver for adoption.

You just outlined a reason for AWS not to fully support IPv6 as well.
