majority of non-corporate end users will not be willing to pay it. Which
is the actual point, rather than quibbling about the precise price.

That seems to be quite an argument against trying to get IPv6 GUA, or am 
I missing something?

No you're not missing anything. And this is a good, simple policy tool
to keep the numbers of PI routes down. At least from the US. But similar
fees seem to be in force at other RIRs like APNIC and RIPE.
