I have some web servers at Amazon EC2 with both IPv4 and IPv6
addresses. For that application their IPv6 support is excellent and
easy to use. They have recently adjusted their pricing so that virtual
machines are somewhat cheaper if they have no external IPv4 address
and just an IPv6 address.
But that is completely irrelevant to our problem which involves
sending mail at scale, what SES does. While I have no great insight
into AWS' internal operations, I expect the reason that SES doesn't
support IPv6 is that it would he a lot of work (way more than just
turning on a few IP addresses) and nobody cares. You can deliver 100%
of your mail over IPv4, and that will continue to be true for a long
time.
If "nobody cared", we would not have that discussion...

As far as I can tell, on the scale of AWS Email service, the IETF is
nobody. SO yes, it can be true simultaneously that part of the IETF is
upset about this and as far as Amazon is concerned nobody cares.
