Based on the facts, you could could just as well say that Apple is trying
to advance the state of the art by refusing to provide suboptimal 464xlat
and insisting instead that developers support IPv6-only networks as

By the same token, you could argue that not supporting statful DHCPv6

slipping back into a "one-address-per-device-NAT-required" world.
