Except if you're using a mobile phone, in which case many telcos hand out only IPv6 addresses to handsets. 2018 NANOG presentation "T-Mobile's journey to IPv6":

But who cares about mobile phones, right? They're only second-grade devices.

my tmobile 5g modem has ipv4 but changes ip every single page load, it's wild

I'm used to cablemodems with static ipv4 for months basically until mac changes
