> In the enterprises I've worked in the past decade with IPv6 running

What about those without IPv6 running?

Anyway, in the enterprises I've worked in the past decade - of course, another anecdote - not once has anyone ever specified an IPv6 address of anything. Inside the organization or outside of it.

why would an enterprise turn to IPv6?

everything fit's nicely in the 10.0.0.0/8 range

in my many decades of enterprise infrastructure, no-one has ever mentioned IP6 either.

why would they, whats the business case?

If you deploy IPv6 correctly, you shouldn't have to disclose IPv6 addresses to users inside or out -- DNS keeps the address literals abstract, hidden from users.
