No, the problem of address correlation to end user may still exist, but the address
Is transparent. The address in log files at the apartment complex matches the address
In log files at intervening networks matches the address in log files at the victim network.

Obviously, if the apartment complex has no log files, then yes, it remains relatively useless
In your one contrived corner case… That not being the more general and widely deployed
Case, I think that calling that proof that IPv6 is worthless proves more about your inane
Bias than anything else.
