One could make a valid argument that this is no worse than systems with misconfigured IPv4 who cannot reach Google at 
all even if they don't publish AAAA records because their IPv4 is so badly misconfigured that it doesn't work either. 
I suspect it may well be approximately the same fraction of systems, though it may take longer to notice/resolve the 
IPv6 issues than the IPv4 ones.

At the last RIPE i had some troubles with my IPv4 while my IPv6 worked fine.  Folks internally grumbled about fixing 
IPv6 hosts because those with IPv6 are in the minority, but that is a diminishing view and honestly people who keep 
repeating that will slowly undercut themselves out of relevance.
