It's already more or less how IPv4 addresses are embedded in IPv4 (except its 128bits and they use an FFFF prefix between the 0 and the IPv4 address).

IPv6 doesn't solve anything for the sake of it. Anyone who had to debug ARP caused issue on a network knows it's complete garbage for example.

Providers who explain that they are dragging their feet because of the complexity would have said exactly the same thing even it was only IPv4++. They just don't want to invest any money in something which is working for them.
