Ok. You added OEMs to the list, but then just named the same three dominant players as clouds. Last I checked, every device on the planet supports IPv6, if not those other protocols. Everything from the cheapest home WiFi router, to every Layer 3 switch sold in the last 20-years.
I think this is a 20-year old argument, and it’s largely irrelevant in 2024.

It's not irrelevant - AWS lacks support for example in EKS or in ELB target groups, where it's actually vital [1]. GCE also lacks IPv6 for some services and you gotta pay extra [2]. Azure doesn't support IPv6-only at all, a fair few services don't support IPv6 [3].
