it's not "just IP": it's ipv6 with per-router push / pop operations on ipv6 extension headers, i.e. high touch in areas which are known to be deeply troublesome on hardware.Unfortunately SRv6 is somewhat easy to market with the whole 'it's simple, just IP' spiel.
In this regard alone, the specification is problematic enough that it's unearthed a bug in the IPv6 standard (rfc8200).
