Do you enjoy double-SSH-ing? Why bother? Wouldn't it be nice not to have to futz with port-forwards? A company who thinks "yes, with IPv6 we can just open everything up so no one will have to bother with silly things like authentication anymore!" is

Who said anything like: "an just open everything up so no one will have to bother with silly things like authentication anymore". Nobody did. Are you trolling?
Yes, IPv6 is the future, but this just isn't the argument for it.
How is ability-to-more-simply-access-my-resourcesnot an argument-for?
You are aware, I hope, that many companies today run VPNs to their internal LANs even though every single machine has a real IPv4 address.
Really? I know of exactly one local company [non-ISP] with a large enough IPv4 allocation to enumerate all their internal resources. I doubt the "many". Everywhere I go it is private IPs. Price a large block of IPv4 addresses.
The external connection is heavily locked down, and you only get in to your destination machine after seriously authenticating yourself. IPv6 will reduce the number of steps needed here by exactly zero!
Agree; I just don't see that as the standard-case.
Yes NAT is bad, yes IPv6 is good, but please update your arguments. No one will ever implement it on the basis of "no security for anyone"
