Why would anyone presume this?

Alexander understood my point.  There is no good reason today why people are
still using IPv4.

Advocating the use of IPv4 is like advocating use of a CLI only.

It should be made clear that IPv4 is deprecated.

And I don't know why people seem to think more people use IPv4 than IPv6 - I
haven't seen any actual data to support that.  I believe it to be true in
North America.

In fact, the argument is the same if you said "why support routable IPv4
addresses?  no one uses them any more, they all use NAT routers and private
addresses"
