True, but it does represent a business decision to choose IPv6. The
relevant point here is that the "NEXT" facebook/twitter/snapchat/...
is likely being pushed by clueless investors into outsourcing their
infrastructure to AWS/Azure/Google-cloud.

there is no AAAA for the bare domain... and the bare domain appears to
be served from amazon space (54.192.48.27)
