But this list is NANOG.... Network Operators. We are the ISPs....

And they indeed should not have to care. Good that this is not a 
consumer list, or a ISP complaint line (though, I guess complaining 
about peering or broken connectivity is in the charter)

They thus have no need for IPv6, which was the question...

Netflix works mostly fine over IPv4 (or heck CGN as that is what one is 
likely headed to if your ISP did not get chunks of free IPv4 address 
space), it is actually still IPv6 where they sometimes have a few PMTU 
blackholes... ;)  [though, have not noticed one in a while now]
