German situation is mostly/rarely/never. Small businesses have their DSL line where their cheapo router will announce an IPv6 prefix which almost all ISPs over here provide. Medium to large businesses usually have some braindead security policies that include switching off all IPv6 functionality in devices.

Don’t get me started on security policies of large German (non-tech adjacent) companies - so many of them are still stuck in the 90s

what's the argument behind that? are they scared they might configure their firewall bad and have no NAT to safe them from accidentally making all devices public?
