    No shit.

    But a private Lan will never need it.

    There are 4 billion+ possible IP v4 addresses, nearly 600 million in the current private range.

    Show me a private network with 600 million devices.

    There’s no reason a device that doesn’t have a direct internet connection needs IP6.

      A device on your private IPv4 network can send packets directly to 104.21.36.127 via NAT. How will it send packets to 2606:4700:3033::6815:247f? There’s not enough space in the IPv4 header.
