It currently works the same way in ARIN's fee schedule.  However, in
this discussion, we're talking about people who have legacy IPv4 space,
which is now administratively under ARIN's management, and for whom
there are currently no fees of any kind, which means that max(IPv4 space
fee, IPv6 space fee) == IPv6 space fee, and increase from nothing, ever.

For an organization that didn't have to justify anything for IPv4 in the
modern sense in order to obtain their address space, it's arguably a
valid question to ask whether they have any need for anything similar in
IPv6.
