[Question] what exactly is hard about adopting IPv6?? (self.networking)

I mean on a technical level. Are the devices that make up the infrastructure of the internet hardwired with IPv4? Is the firmware on these devices impossible to upgrade remotely?

If it's just a matter of software or firmware then adoption should only take like a year but clearly that isn't the case. So what specifically is stopping us?

I use ProtonVPN. They don't use IPv6, so neither do I.
