Well, I don't know that I would have used the word 'unfortunate' to describe it. The fact is, why should you, me, or any country spend valuable resources on doing something unless it's pressing? If the United States isn't even close to running out of addresses (and we aren't), then why should we worry about it now? It's more efficient to spend valuable time and money on more pressing matters.
An analogy would be the provable reserves of, say, natural resources. Take oil, for an example. In the history of the oil industry, there never has been at any time more than a 20-30 year supply of proven reserves. In the 1960's, there was a 25 year supply of known oil, and today there's still about a 25 year supply of known oil. This is simply because once you've found a certain amount of oil, it's not economical to spend money to find even more. It's costly to drill and explore. Similarly, it's costly to migrate to ipv6 and develop new tools and skills. So why should the US migrate until it really is close to running out of ipv4 addresses (which, like I said, it is not even close)?
