25 years to not achieve global domination opens the door to become
obsoleted before it does. Pretty sure that would be more bad than good.

Some weight to lend to your theory would be if Africa and Asia IPv6
numbers are outpacing everywhere else. Google numbers suggest that is
not at all the case, with the notable exception of Saudia Arabia and
India and even Gabon.
Perhaps you have better or different numbers. We could use some good news.

The "side" thing is the problem here. The objective is a stable and
maximally usable internet, both now and in the future.
