Yeah, they don't even have a practical way to implement a firewall
instance for IPv6. Unless you want to mirror 1:many NAT for IPv6 like
you do IPv4. You just can't route an IPv6 block to an instance. And
with 1:many NAT you wouldn't want public IP addresses inside but AWS
doesn't let you assign ULA addresses inside the subnet, only global
addresses.
