Dynamic DNS for example through cloudflare … is a middleman. Great effort has been taken to make obtaining a small block of IPv6 addresses difficult for the end user.
It’s true a few isps will provide you a static up but most will not.
In most implementations the end user sees no benefit from IPv6 or simply an isp using carrier grade NAT. When IPv6 first rolled out it was promoted as a way for everyone to easily obtain addresses .. reality is not so much. End user functionality crippled
Or gatekeeped
Hypothetically should be to host a simple file share of let’s say photos on a desktop and share using SMB or another protocol via IPv6. No need for cloud provider / iCloud Photos, Google or whatever. Just a direct connection with a desktop that stays on 24/7.
This is not the case and effort has been made to make IPv6 really more of a useful protocol to mobile isps managing large numbers of new devices.
