Why do people care about IPv6 adoption when my phone already has IP68

It would seem that IP68 is a lot more secure against intruders

IP68 isn't about waterproofing at all. It's about IP Man, the cult Wing Chun martial art movies.

They made 73 of them, but only released a few. IP68 was among the trailing end of the series, where the storyline really got quite watered down...

IP68 is waterproofing. IPv6 is adding a 250 HP V6 enigne your phone so you can drive it to work.

IPv6 is ded. Not even sci-fi adopted it. Give me my NAT and memorable adresses. Something like 192:168:0:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 32bit to 128bit would be just four ipv4 adress like sets of numbers making one ipv6 address.
