That’s only 140 IP addresses per person. With things like microservices and IoT, we have already passed that.
Every major website uses hundreds of thousands of IP addresses each. Every part of your car has an IP address. Every digital sign in public places have IP addresses. Every electronic lock might have an IP address. Every electronic that you own might already have an IP address. Every light bulb in your house will have an IP address.
But yeah, IPv6 is needed. The solution I think is not to make ipv6 addresses shorter, but to make DNS ubiquitous.

Yeah, but not a public facing one. My light bulb and your light bulb can both be 192.168.0.27, so long as our WAN IPs are different. I can understand 140 IPs per person being insufficient if every device was publically accessible, but I seriously doubt there has to be 140 telephone lines on the planet for each person.
