Has anyone ever seen a business requirement for ipv6?

I work for a business that won't change anything unless we have business reason for change, and any implementation of ipv6 at the moment comes under this header. Without any discussion of technical benefits, has anyone ever come across a scenario of a service that just didn't work on ipv4?

*Internal apps all work with ipv4

*All web saas services and sites still work with ipv4 (ignore sites like https://ipv6.google.com/ where there obviously is an ipv4 alternative)

*All client ISP still offer ipv4, even if it's with cgnat

*Seems no shortage of static ipv4 based ISP for business use where I need to have site to site services (at least in UK)

I would like to prepare the business and give real reasons why ipv6 is likely to be necessary and have it ready for when it is (avoiding any last minute rushed implementation) but at the moment I cannot present any justifiable reason they should invest.

Anyone care to share a business case I can take to management?
