> That being said, Amazon currently has 2880 ipv4 allocations and 946 ipv6 allocations... not much gained I guess? :p https://asnlookup.com/asn/AS16509/

How many clients can those IPv4 allocations serve? How many clients can those 946 serve?

If Amazon had 2880 IPv6 allocations, how many clients could they serve?

I'd say a lot was gained. Someone asking for a random PI IPv6 allocation gets, at minimum, a /48 for a "site". That's the equivalent of a Class A (16 bits for subnets).

Are you saying everyone being able to get their own Class A equivalent is 'nothing gained'?
