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.

Then you don’t need to mess with NAT, port forwarding and all that bullshit. Every device having multiple addresses just complicates things.
