That's because the 'v6 network' is broken enough that putting AAAA
records on sites that need to be well reachable is a bad idea.
For example, due mainly to Vista's 6to4 tunnelling stuff (based on
researching a random sample of users), I'd lose about 4% of visitors
to my web-sites if I were to turn on AAAA records.
For a transit provider, having an unreachable (or seemingly
unreachable) web-site is a really bad idea.
