This actually brings up a good argument:

  are you going to pay for us to run our 6to4 relay?


not that the cost of it is high, but there is cost to it - to make sure
it keeps working, to monitor the system for overload, etc.

Our customers don't really need it (because we have native IPv6), we're
offering this for free to benefit users on the other side that do not
have native IPv6, but insist on not using IPv4.


And this also points out why anycasted 6to4 is necessarily(!) less 
reliable than those other Internet technologies that you have mentioned -
because those that run the relays usually have no financial interest in
doing so.  So if it breaks, it will take longer to notice and even longer
to fix than for something that directly affects paying customers.
