But it's either route IPv6 on hardware built to optimize 32-bit-address performance or buy an IPv6-optimized twin for every router they have. Looks like doing the former hurts so bad it makes no difference, the switch to IPv6 will make them double their router investment either way.

Of course you're working against the market here. Any change will meet economic resistance since the perceived markets starts out very small. But this is a truism, and would be the case independent of whether the change is IPvDJB or IPv6.
My point is that IPv6 is easier and cheaper to route than IPv4, not the other way around.
