IPv6 = second system effect. It's way too complicated for what was needed and this complexity hinders its adoption. We don't need 100 ip addresses for every atom on the earth's surface and we never will.

They should have just added an octet to IPv4 and be done with it.

it's not about using all 100 IP addresses for every atom

it's about having large enough ranges to allocate them in ways that make sense instead of arbitrarily allocating them by availability
