 DS> My real question is why should I? [get IPv6 on my own]

 MVDV> How about exploring new technology? What happened to that 
 MVDV> pioneer spirit that made Fidonet such a great a success?

Two responses to that.
1. The technology that I learned and used is no longer very relevant.  I
have been fully retired for more than a decade and am quite content to
leave that sort of thing to others.
2. For me, Fidonet has always been about the content it carries, i.e.
the echomail of topics I care about.

 DS> At the moment I can do anything I want to do using what my ISP
 DS> provides, which is IPv4.

 MVDV> It will not last forever. How about avoiding surprises and 
 MVDV> get yourself familiar with the new technology so that when 
 MVDV> you find your IPv4 behind CGNAT, you don't have to panic?

I am not now familiar with IPv4, transport layers, and all that stuff.
Nor do I see a need to be.  It works, and does what it is supposed to
do.  I pay my ISP for service and am satisfied with what they provide.
I do not know what you mean by CGNAT?

 MVDV> How about fixing the roof when the sun is still shining?

I don't fix my roof.  I call my roofer, they come out and determine what
needs to be done and do it.  I pay them and life is good.
