There have been some providers doing this for awhile now, but by far
AWS is the biggest to do it by default.

Many providers have offered what is essentially v6-only for a discount,
then charging an additional amount to get v4. MythicBeasts was probably
the first to offer an IPv6-only VM. DigitalOcean, Vultr, SSDNodes,
Hetzner, EUServ, and probably a bunch more have all had some sort of
v6-only and v4 for an additional plan for awhile.  A few smaller, lesser
known hosting providers will sell a v6 + v4 NAT plan.
