Well it's not like they could have deployed IPv6 (with NAT64) instead (/rant). Most ISPs around here (France) provide IPv6, some of them since like 10 years ago.

Not supporting IPv6 today is just ridiculous, and I've jumped ship† regularly during those 10 years, explicitly mentioning IPv6 (lack thereof or unsatisfying support) as the reason when cancelling. I understand that not everyone has this chance (due to choice availability) to pressure their ISPs, but seriously they weren't forced: they dug themselves into this hole.

† One of them even dropped a previously perfectly functional IPv6 support for me purely due to a contract update and argued it wasn't possible to bring it back. Seriously.
