Indeed it does. And don't forget that the most basic data object in the routing table, the address itself, is 4 times as big.

"2 times as big", if you believe that routers that need to care about table size won't do anything about what's past the /64 boundary.

It still costs money. Especially since you'll also need to be carrying the v4 table for approximately forever, and it'll be deaggregating faster and faster at least for a while.
