Another bit from the article:

(Graham Low, a professor in information systems at the Australian School of Business) surmises that most people who were aware of the eventual need to make the switch have thought "why do it unless you have to?" "But we don't have a choice now," Low cautions. "The Internet wasn't designed for the number of users it currently has, so we have to go (to IPv6)."

So we may not have another decade to lose!
But you're right, it's another case of "we'll switch when we have to," and so far, no one has had to. When they do have to, assume the transition will be rushed and messy as hell, and a lot of people will be angered and frustrated by the process... especially, I'd expect, the consumers.
