In the UK, "old landlines" will soon be history. Our POTS here has already been upgraded to VOIP - my old POTS phone is now plugged into my broadband router and works fine (for a somewhat jaded definition of "fine" :-(

Dunno about other countries in Europe, though ...

Here (Norway), the copper network (POTS, ISDN, DSL) is simply left to die; a little of it is still left, but if it breaks, it won't be fixed. Nearly all voice is 2G/4G/5G (3G has largely been turned down). Data is DOCSIS (cable), FTTH or 4G/5G.

Deployment of IPv6 in Norway is lagging six years behind the global average, though. (Based on the aforementioned Google stats: https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=p...)

This is very much true, and it is largely due to the incumbent ISPs lagging. Most countries' status is usually very much driven by what key people in a few select ISPs choose to care about. :-/
