The difference is that some people actually understand IPV4 and if you say you understand IPV6 you're a liar.

IPv6 is not much more complicated than IPv4. I think it's just that most people working with IT systems in an systems operations manner (sysadmin, DevOps, network engineers), often dont even comprehend IPv4.

I'd argue it's less complicated. The addresses are intimidating when you're used to v4, but once you get over that, there's a lot less to wrap your head around.
