alt Hacker NewsJust because the ISPs have implemented IPv6 doesn't mean anyone's home router is using it, let alone all the devices in the home WiFi

Obviously they are. Most people use the equipment provided by their ISP without ever changing any settings.
If the ISP is IPv6-first, you bet that their customers are using it in their home WiFi.
Well the data shows they are in fact using it. Most people use their ISP router which in these carriers would be setup by default to use v6, plus any router bought in the last 10 years would support v6 and probably use it by default.
