Yes, for traditional mobile (i.e handsets) the picture is completely
different.  Same view shows an average of 85% IPv6 on mobile access:

from the point of view of cgnat scaling, a more useful figure would be the number of ipv6 "sessions" vs natted ipv4 sessions. It's well established that many of the highest volume traffic sources on the internet are ipv6 enabled, but the long tail is definitely not. I.e. throughput is not necessarily a useful data point for substantiating many of the claims that are made here and elsewhere about ipv6 popularity.
