There is not a correlation between this graph and traffic the way you purport hence the [missing citation] aspect of the discussion. An enterprise actually moves less traffic than a consumer on a per user basis, so if a home is IPv6 enabled and runs a lot of YouTube, Netflix, etc the bits per IP are not equal. 

Enterprise, eyeball and wholesale networks have vastly different traffic characteristics. If you use the Alexa top 1000 or 1 million you see many IPv6 enabled sites as they are hosted on cloudflare which dual stacks by default vs other CDNs that don't. 

Using one datapoint, an ad network (google) is helpful to understand what browser users might look like but a set top box without a browser may move significantly more bits and not be apparent at all in the IPv6 stats at google. 

Hope this helps.
