@planetf1b - thanks, I broadly understand the underlying network principles.
I'll not press the matter but have to admit, I still remain confused as to what noticeable application use-case is falling foul of this outside of your analysis/what AI thinks. From your listed impacts, it sounds to me that the 'only' thing you've personally encountered is smartphone battery drain? It would be interesting to see some evidence that correlates the two things e.g. a packet capture showing a native smartphone application sending large IPv6 payloads, failing to get a response, re-transmitting, stalling, falling back to IPv4 etc.

Have you repeated the tests on a non-BT connection with differing results?
I also think this ^ might help validate/further your case i.e. an example of your tests doing what you're expecting them to do whilst connected to a non BT/EE Internet connection.
Another thought is that you could try removing your router/hub from the equation by hooking a PC up to the ONT directly and having it use a PPPoE dial-up connection; if only to remove a point of obfuscation.
What's piqued my curiosity is the fact that there a a few online tests out there that purport to check for this sort of thing; and when I try running them, they all pass 🤔
