This confuses 'devices' with 'end to end communications'.  And
end-to-end communication is limited to the least-capability component in
the sequence.  (And to the extent that operators choose to provide
/different/ services over IPv4 than IPv6, the switching cost tends to be
made higher.)

It also appears to ignore use of all existing devices that do /not/
support IPv6, most of which won't convert to it.  Lest the response be
something like "they already work so they aren't a problem" please see
above.
