The main thing I don't like is type-ability. Even now I type in 192.168.1.14 to connect to my mates computer to play satisfactory. No way in heck am I trying in an ip6!

No way in heck are you typing fd00::d or similar? Why not?

how about just having zeroconf on and using .local domains?

Why not just type in "mates-pc" and have functional mDNS and not have to memorize a bunch of numbers?

Why not just expect your OS's DNS setup to actually just work?

Hmmmm maybe someone should come up with a SYSTEM to organize NAMES for ips, maybe using hierarchical DOMAINs.... Oh wait.
