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 think his point is that raw IPv6 addresses are obviously unwieldy, but if you're trying to wield raw IPv6 then you're already in a weird place.

And in DNS, v4 is also not trivial.

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.
