Having a ready supply of low cost IPv6 capable high speed switches/routers as drop-in replacements for things like the Linksys or SMC devices, be they wired or wifi, would be a good way to introduce IPv6 to SMBs. Switches don't worry about IPv6 or IPv4. They handle both and any other

That is mostly true; managed switches may care if you are using vLAN features. Older switches frequently discard unknown-protocols on vLAN ports. But we recently survey'd switches and every switch we looked at supported IPv6 (even the 'low end' Linksys managed switches).
Dismissing this need out of hand, James, is unproductive. I have never dismissed that. What I have dismissed is the attitude that since not everything is not yet IPv6 ready, we shouldn't be using it at all.
