alt Hacker News“it’s easy peasy” says guy who demonstrably already knows and has time to learn a bunch of shit 99.9% of people don’t have the background or inclination to.
People like you talking about IPv6 have the same vibe as someone bewildered by the fact that 99.9% of people can’t explain even the most basic equation of differential or integral calculus. That bewilderment is ignorance.

This is not even that unreasonable. Sadly, the number of IP devices in the world by now far exceeds the IPv4 address space, and other folks want to do something about that. They hope the world won't freeze but would sort of progress.
Network engineering is a profession requiring specific education. At a high level it’s not different from calculus. You learn certain things and then you learn how to apply them in the real life situations.
It’s not hard for people who get an appropriate education and put some effort into it. Your lack of education is not my ignorance.
These people apparently had the time and inclination to learn a bunch of shit about IPv4, though.
"Easy" is meant in that context. The people acting like the IPv4 version is easy.
So your second paragraph doesn't fit the situation at all.
